Applet Installer
This would be an installer built into AWn to install applets. This would allow for easy configuration of 3rd party applets, and you would not need to patch AWn to use 3rd party applets.

Whiteboard
With this approach in the end the applets will be everywhere, and that leads to frustrations which will end in a central place to keep track of the applets. In my opinion it would be more comfortable if we create an "awn-applets" package / subproject when the number of applets increases.
------------
As applet development increases, having to either patch the source or commit applets to the core code will become a cumbersome task, as will the task of tracking down which applet is the source of a bug. By developing an applet installer we can simplify this process, and keep AWN's core code uncluttered. --andrewsomething
