Sounds good :).

I didn't know about that one; I haven't built any plugins from source, just downloaded via apt-get. Looks like it's more powerful, because it exposes the full plugin API, whereas Lua scripts just get a subset. I'll have to check it out sometime if I find that I need more powerful interaction than geanylua allows. Has the API stabilised?
