It's available [from Apple's Developer Connection](https://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wa/getSoftware?bundleID=20044) for registered members (registering is free). You can grab the Aperture 2.1 plugin-SDK (3D9) as a 595KB download from there and start coding. If you want to know what exactly you can do with it as a programmer you should [read those lines from Apple](http://developer.apple.com/appleapplications/aperturesdk.html). So it should be just a matter of time before we see another bunch of plugins popping out.
