Talk:Widget engine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not sure what the second sentence of this extract means:

Usually these little applications resemble the tiny freeware apps that were developed by enthusiasts during the 80s. However, we must also point out that the majority of widgets are free and therefore its innovative approach and update may be quite limited.

Yeah, honestly, I was just wondering about that sentence myself. Someone should scrap that entirely if no one cleans it up (I think I'll come back in a few days and give it a shot myself if no one else feels like it). (edit: oops, I wasn't signed in, heh). --Phil Urich 06:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
I went ahead and removed it. Innovation is not related to price. --PrePressChris 17:27, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tafri

From what I can tell, the Tafri notes strewn through the article were spam. Their "engine" doesn't support widgets. It's just a program. There is nothing even remotely "widgety" about it. I've gotten rid of this spam altogether.

[edit] SuperKaramba?

Would it be okay to add a bit about SuperKaramba, seeing as it is a definite Widget engine, and quite popular with extensions on KDE-Look.org? Just wondering, since its Wikipedia page links to this one, but not vice-versa. T3thys::ben 17:49, 1 July 2007 (UTC) UPDATE: Okay, so I added it -- I didn't realize I was logged out at the time.

[edit] Online equivalent?

What is the online equivalent of a widget engine (i.e., a widget engine for widgets that are meant to be used online, on personal websites, blogs, etc.)? Should this article be broadened in scope to include such widgets? SharkD (talk) 03:22, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of external link

I understand that the list of external links has been removed because it seems to be too close to a list of commercial links. However, there was soome more general articles on this list, including the "what is a mobile widget" article on my blog, and a couple of others.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomsoft (talk • contribs) 10:14, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
