how to write plugins?

hey there! I have rockbox on my Sansa E280, It's MUCH better than the OF.  :)
I do a little coding myself [mostly php,html,js,css,BASH], [I haven't really learned C yet but I sorta want to] and I was wondering how could I make a plugin?

Thanks

[P.S. Will .GIF ever be supported? I have a lot of gif files, converted to png, but they're about double size.]

Domonoky:

You may want to look into the wiki, especially the HowtoWritePlugins wikipage should be helpful.

mvmacd:
hmm.. I look at the page... but, ok, still I have no idea what kind of stuff I can tell the plugin to do.. and I'm still kinda fuzzy on how it all works out, but, so, do you think .GIF will be viewable in rockbox soon? thx

Chronon:
If someone improves http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/3037 then it could be accepted.

mvmacd:
oh cool. I actually downloaded that, and was hoping I could just compile it, then test it with my rockbox simulator. I tried,

--- Code: ---$ ls
extras  viewbox.c
$ gcc viewbox.c

--- End code ---

then it said a file was missing [a .h file] so then I searched my rockbox folder [that I got from svn, something I read on the  wiki or something], and then I would copy it to that directory, and then I'd try to compile again, then it said another file was missing, and so on and so forth. :( so how can I build this gifview? can I like cp it to the ~/rockbox/apps/plugins/ folder and then compile rockbox?
