There are two places where plugins can be put.

The better one (because it persists through an upgrade of SlimServer)
is in a Plugins folder that you have to create for yourself inside the
SlimDevices folder in the Library folder. In my case, as I have
installed SlimServer for one user only, this is my own personal Library
folder (myusername/Library). I don't know if it is in the other Library
folder (at the top level of the hard drive) if one has installed
SlimServer for all users, but I would expect so. By the way, if you are
new to OS X, you need to know a convention (borrowed from Unix) that
one's personal Library folder is usually referred to as ~/Lbrary.

The other place for the Plugins folder, where the plugins live that
come with SlimServer, is hidden by a feature of OS X. Many things that
look and behave like programs are actually packages - this means a
folder that appears like a program to the user. The idea of this is
that all the support files get hidden away and won't get modified or
deleted by a careless user. To see what's there, control-click on the
item (in this case SlimServer.prefPane) and choose "show package
contents" from the contextual menu that comes up. This then shows the
contents of the item and you can look through these in the normal way.
