This page is a list of GNU projects for which you can write plugins (also called "modules", "extensions", or "add-ons"). The aim is to provide suggestions for members of the GNU Generation project. Rather than trying to be a complete list, this list aims to highlight applications which are fun to work with and practical for new programmers.
Emacs
The GNU Emacs text editor can be extended by plugins written in elisp
GIMP
The GNU Image Manipulation Program is the image and photo editor of the GNU project.
You can write plugins for GIMP in Scheme.
GCC
The GNU Compiler Collection developers are currently working on a plugin architecture, as of Summer 2009, but this is not ready done. GCC plugins will probably be written in c.
TeXmacs
GNU TeXmacs can be extended by plugins written in Scheme.
LilyPond
GNU TeXmacs can be extended by plugins written in Scheme.
External resources
The following are ways to find free software applications that have plugin architectures:
- gnu.org's Free Software Directy
- Wikipedia's article on GNU Guile, which includes a list of programs using Guile as a plugin architecture
