I haven't had a chance to try it, but I'm curious if you had any
feedback about the extension system or shell code?  Is there anything
in particular that you found problematic while writing an extension
like this?

The shell sources are easy to read and people on the IRC channel were helpful when I had questions.

One thing I think would help newbies like myself is a FAQ document similar to the one pygtk has (http://faq.pygtk.org/index.py?req=index). I would be willing to help moderate such a document.

I have also been wondering about the best way to make an extension translateable.

Thanks for the great job you and all the other developers are doing!
