Does anyone know of any open-source FileMaker plugins?

The only one I currently know of is Keystone (http://code.google.com/p/keystonefilemakerplugin/)

Just wondered if there were any others?

I've created a few of my own FileMaker Plugins for Windows, but am struggling on OS X so was hoping to be able to see some working examples to learn from.

+1  A: 

I have not seen any Open-Source Filemaker Plug-Ins (excepting one written in LISP (http://weitz.de/regex-plugin/) ... Spolsky would have something to say about that). There are some templates available (24uSoftware) and of course those distributed on the Filemaker Advanced media.

That said, I would urge you to become a member of the fmplug-prog-list at Yahoo Groups (FileMaker Plug-in programmers list). There are other plug-in programmers there who are not hesitant to lend a helping hand and advice.

In addition, you might try looking around at http://filemakerplugindev.com . There are interviews with plug-in developers, tips and suggestions regarding languages and IDE's.
