I think we shouldn't add all the screenlets that were in the Screenlets release 0.1.2 where individual screenlets and core framework weren't separated and there was no PPA. This is because there are many too specific screenlets and adding them all will make the list of screenlets unmanageable.

I think we should put only the ones which are really basic and interesting for everybody. And of course, these should be tested to work fine. Please give us your ideas, which of the present screenlets satisfy these requirements.

Now there are only following screenlets included:

Ruler
Lipik --- sticky notes
Clock
Flower
Slideshow --- show slides from Media RSS, Flickr or folders
Trash
Calc

Probably we can also add ClearCalendar, which was updated recently. What else should we add?

Notice that if user wants more screenlets than in Basic Pack, these can be downloaded from the PPA.
