What exactly does the applet require? We are already running geoip & location lookup server for datetime indicator and the installer. Can we simply add remaining bits there? Or is it actually Yahoos mapping from location -> woeid -> weather data? There is a new weather app/widget very popular (kept on reviewed on OMG!Ubuntu) can that simply have an indicator functionality as well?
