I disagree. I think the gadgets extension should never ship with pre-installed
gadgets. This to avoid mass decentralization of gadgets (which are very hard,
if not impossible, to reliably update, so we'd be left with a lot of gadgets
installed on third party wikis, likely unused on most of them and not
update-able).

Instead this is where sharing and community comes in. Anyone can create such a
gadget if he sees a need for it, and (once Gadgets 2.0 is finished) it can be
natively shared with other wikis that also need it.

Much like Chrome extensions or Firefox add-ons, except with multiple market
places (repositories) and the wiki-admin 'decides' which repositories are
trusted and are aggregated in the search and allowed for loading.
