Re: The endless and mostly fruitless GNOME applets debate [contd...]

[Seth Nickell <snickell stanford edu>]

We need to figure out what applets people actually use and/or are
worthwhile functionality. There's also a certain metric of how high
quality the applet is. We don't have to split all applets into seperate
modules, I think we still want many of them to come in a base package.

I actually think a voting mechanism linked to from w.g.o would be quite
useful here in determining which applets people actually use.
