Shindig does not include this functionality (or any UI-level stuff), as Ivan noted. Our original approach for the JIRA 4 dashboard used jQuery UI's "sortable" but this had some drawbacks. In particular, the iframe for each gadget reloaded whenever you dropped it. It was also pretty slow with lots of gadgets on a page. Eventually one of our JavaScript gurus designed a custom implementation based on absolute positioning. -- Tim
