@OVK : Wouldn't that be better implemented as an app?
I think widgets are either small apps that one uses multiple times daily, or displays certain infos that one would like to often see as she goes about\through the desktop.

EDIT: But on the other hand I don't know where the line between a widget and an app is

It's not that I don't like the idea. I just think it's *very* dangerous.
I've added it to the list anyways. (And in the cases that I haven't added them to the list, it's most likely because there already is a widget for that purpose.)
Yes, can all my passowrd be stolen if MINT gets hacked - absolutely yes.
Maybe that day when all my money is stolen, I will setup a Paypal donation button guys
But till then I am throwing caution to the winds for the sake of convenience.

From the link to the Widget UI design guidelines on the previous page, a widget:
* can only receive taps as input except in config mode
* should not resize
* should not occupy more than half the available display
* should present information in a manner that allow a user to take it in quickly
etc.
Re: using the calendar to populate the daily tasks widget. That's fine as an option, but i had intended it more as a place to keep those mundane things that don't even need calendar entries.

A widget that runs flash player 9.4! 
Think of the possibilities... I myself will port some of my vista-flash-gadgets to it.

What I would really really like, is an maemo version of OSX's Nerdtool/Geektool. Its basically a transparent xterm that displays the output of a command/shellscript on the desktop. There should be an option to make it update at certain intervals.
I use Nerdtool on OSX to curl a webpage, collect the data that I need, make it readable and then output it on the desktop.
I dont think it would be that hard to make...

Get Home with public transportation widget. First of all, the user would enter the location (adress) of user's home. This info would then be stored in the widget. When started the widget would get the GPS data and feed the users current location to a web service (provided by the public transport authorities of the city in which the user lives) which would then suggest a public transportation method to go home. (For example, I live in Helsinki and the site to get the traffic info is http://aikataulut.ytv.fi/reittiopas/en/ I am sure that all the major cities have similar web sites).
Well, why the widget and not just use the web service directly with the browser? Because sometimes you might not know where you are and also not be in a condition to write the two addresses...
