To ask a question about writing your own Chimera extensions:

You can send mail to the Chimera development mailing list, chimera-dev@cgl.ucsf.edu.
While this list is not as lively as the chimera-users mailing list, it is actively monitored by the Chimera developers, and can be a very useful resource for getting sample code and other helpful pointers for writing your own extensions in Chimera.
