What do you mean by "SDK-ing"?

basically i'm working on an app that admin's other modules within a framework. I'd like to open it up so other people can add and program into the admin app if they feel they would like to. So just like the java sdk allows you to program in java, I'd like to allow other developers to do the same.

Never really tried to "sdk" something. Is there a common best practice to doing so?

Are you saying you would like to open source this admin app and have others implement source code for it if needed ?

Pretty much. While that decision comes from someone else "higher up", I'd like to leave it in a position where doing so would put the company at no extra charge (basically allowing the code to be open sourced for free).

Joshua Bloch's Effective Java covers so much of this, you're going to be astounded even after preparing yourself to be astonished.

Just my .02c

Josh Bloch also gave a great Google Talk on API design.
