For example, you can find the Windows BMP Read/Write plugin under "plug-ins/bmp" (starting from the GIMP distribution or CVS tree). BMP is a relatively simple format and the code of its plug-in should be easy to understand. Other formats' read/write plug-ins can be found under "plug-ins/common" and somewhere under "plug-ins". If there's an API function that you don't understand you can look at its description in the header files and source code under "libgimp/", "libgimpbase", etc. grep is your friend. Note that I haven't done too much GIMP developments, and there are other people here who can give you more expert advice. This advice is just off the top of my head.
