what about these widgets being linked to parent lenses ?

clicking on them or on a link "more" would take you to the lenses.

so in essence these widgets would act as "previews" of the lenses you want in 
one screen.

i like the idea of adding lens previews to the home in the form of 
blocks/widgets :)

would be cool to improve the API to do that.

                      I think that we should use the space for something
                      more informative than

                      the 8 icons...

                      http://ubuntuone.com/5nAsW7hEmAs6jvyiq8Z6on
                    

                    
                    like a widget space, riiiight?
                    this could be easily achieved by using the
                      Launcher API in the Dash.
                    there would be enough space for all
                      high-interest statuses such as email, instant
                      messaging & call services, progress on system
                      update or filetransfer or filedownloads and a
                      visual way of indicating, how many windows the
                      browser has open.
                  
                
              
            
            Yeah right... 

            Plus more such as weather or a calender.

          
        
        

        
        weather i don't know, i'd like it, personally, but some
          might not.
        But Calendar, yes, calendar is one important feature that
          has yet to be properly implemented in the free Desktop
          Environment.
        at least a live indication of the next appointment today
          and a proper date showing the  day of the week.
      
    
    Of course you can set everything as you like. In my opinion in the
    USC a widget section and their you can install and remove them as
    you like...

    

    Pre-installed I would like to see

     -Calender

     -Facebook/Twitter/...

     -Email

     -Weather

     -events or things to do for the next week

     -Music

     -news (based on google? news or a local service?)
