I think it's very important that we write this new applet in Scheme, we'll attract new developers (mostly from MIT) and Scheme will give us a simple, robust and more intuitive interface. Plus it will make our applet extensible enough that people can write their own handling code for it. Setting a network profile would be as simple as adding (setq preferred-wireless-network "kingdumb come") to your .nm-applet file. Perhaps we could look at integrating with emacs as well...
