Very probably and some of the team will be at the widget bash too.
Excellent.
This brings up a question for this project though, do we want them?
The issue is that maintaining widgets is a very different issue to
maintaining a widget server. Interestingly I just made the same
observation over on the Rave list where we are facing the same issue.
The Shindig project (as far as I know) does not accept gadgets for this
reason.
An alternative would be to create a separate project to host
widgets/gadgets, maybe outside the ASF in order to lower the barrier to
entry for newcomers and to remove the licence requirements we have here.
Thoughts?

Some of the widgets they developed are up here:

Though it sounds like they made quite a few more but haven't published them yet.
Any chance they will consider contributing the code for these to Wookie?
