There are several extensions presently available in the Radiant 
repository. The LDAP extension is a good example of an extension that 
has its own controllers, views, and models. The Hello Tag example 
extension will show you how to add global tags.

There are a few articles about extensions floating around out there:

Presently you can create tabs in the admin interface and override 
existing views. We would like to add more hooks in the future.
