There are more than hundred plug-ins included in the GIMP tarball. I
suggest you start looking there.

This documentation, or actually a more uptodate version of it, is also
included in the source tarball. Have a look at the devel-docs directory.

If you installed the GIMP API reference next to the GLib and GTK+ API
references, you could click on most data types and get to the relevant
documentation that way. Here's an online version of the GIMP-1.3 API
reference which is properly cross-linked:

 http://developer.gimp.org/api/1.3/


However you will need some more docs than the API reference can give
you. Simon Budig wrote an excellent paper for last year's Guadec:
