Appropedia:Widgets
From Appropedia
- This is a very rough draft and might be inaccurate.
[edit] Widgets available now
It's already possible to insert certain widgets into pages. Useful ones which have already been successfully used on Appropedia include:
| Widget | Used on page |
|---|---|
| calendars | User:Lonny |
| and maps | User:Lonny |
| search boxes | Appropedia's Public Domain Search |
[edit] Widgets to look into
A small number of Google's OpenSocial widgets look useful. For example: (some of these links may not be the best ones.)
Some of the Wikispaces widgets look useful, in particular:
- RSS feed
- List of wiki pages (what kind of pages? E.g. from a category?)
- Discussion area (or is this a bad idea, to have yet another discussion area, on top of talk pages and the Forum?)
[edit] Discouraged widgets
Some widgets (including some of Google's OpenSocial widgets) don't serve a useful purpose here, don't help networking (in the sense of helping people to express who they are and network with like-minded people) and are more likely to distract and take up people's time. These are discouraged. (Should the Appropedia community reserve the right to ban such widgets?)
