If I Wanted To Make A Magento Plug In

[DSLiverpool]

Where would I start and how can I protect my game changing idea ?

Sorry not clear, I've had an idea that will change the world - confident it will - want to sell millions of them - next step?

Any ideas how to protect it or am I dreaming - I found out my web guys can author it but will get them on a NDA first.
