Hey that's cool, the developers have set up a plugin registry on the 
wiki site, I hope you could package up your plugin with instructions 
(maybe a page on your website would be great) and 'register' it in the 
registry. I'll make it public soon it my blog. The registry is located @ 
http://wiki.subtlehints.net/moin/PyBlosxom_2fPyBlosxomPluginRegistry and 
editable by anyone.

In the future I might make a standard variable in config.py for plugins 
to either dump stuff or read from a particular directory if defined. 
Also reading the glossary file, if you find it slow on your system, you 
could increase the speed by making glossaries a python dict, or actually 
compile your glossary file into a pickle.

There's only one preformatter running on a particular entry at one time. 
If you did not configure py['parser'] in config.py, then the default 
would always be the plain preformatter (which works like blosxom do).
