Hello!
First of all, it's good to see new people interested in developing for
KDevelop. Sadly, there is no real "tutorial" on how to write a plugin for
KDevelop. But:
1) We have an active IRC channel (#kdevelop on freenode) where - with a bit of
patience - most questions an answer get.
2) For development related questions, esp. when they are complicated or
similar, write a mail to our mailing list (you should register straight away):
http://www.kdevelop.org/index.html?filename=mailinglist.html
This way you'll get the most feedback, and not only from one person.
Now lets talk about how to get into developing a plugin for KDev4. First of
all, looking at existing plugins should help you _a lot_. Some of them are
really well documented, and when you compare a few you'll easily see the basic
things that you need to get a plugin up and running. Nicolas (PovAddict on
IRC) also provided me with a simple plugin, that you can use as a base to get
started:

If you have any more question, don't hesitate and ask us. Furthermore, what
about you writing a tutorial on how to get a KDevelop Plugin up and running,
documenting what you learn along writing the plugin? You should put it on
http://techbase.kde.org along with the other KDE-related tutorials.
