-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 How about if we have an 'Add Stuff' page instead of the configuration gadget?
It can be the place where a user can either select from all the mashups available in the local server or provide URLs to fetch gadgets from remote locations. When a user selects/adds a gadget, the related meta-data necessary to render that in the gadget container page will be stored under that user's profile (ie: users/jonathan/gadgets/) as a resource. This will allow us to pre-populate the gadget container page and the user to remove or add gadgets as and when required.
