What makes a package? I see a desktop file in a zip a bare minimum package. 

I think that package() should return valid pointer in C++ if it's launched 
with desktop file under plasma/plasmoids/ so other files can be accessed too.

There are several plasmoids in kde-look.org to some web services written in 
scripting languages. These could be done just by writing a desktop file to 
webslice. From user point of view I think they are separate applets.

For comic, weather, etc. those are separate data sources and so dataengine is 
better suited for those?
