-Make a demo widget that displays an image, like the "From the Digital
-Archive" panel of our Toronto Digital Library demo.
+*** MKWS ***
-Make a widget demo that displays the top-hit full record rather than a
-list of summary records. This can be used to pull in Wikipedia text to
-make the bulk of a topic page.
+ Architecture: separate objects for each widget
-Make an Amazon cover-art widget.
+ Architecture: translucent configuration, with global values
+ shining through where a specific widget provides no local
+ value.
-Blog about changing role of librarians: used to be mediators of scarce
-information. Value now is increasingly as organisers of freely
-available information. Will become more true as OA takes over.
+ Architecture: decouple related elements using
+ publish/subscribe. (Jakub will probably do this.)
-Do target selection by UDB rather than ZURL. Needs SP changes.
+ Architecture: managed widgets held in the Torus. Maybe.
-Index Data's 20th birthday is this year.
+ Architecture: "3rd party widget platforms". I seems to recall
+ I copied this off one of Seb's lists on the flipchart, but I
+ can't remember what it refers to. Can anyone?

+ Allow debug() to be customised by setting a callback function
+ that is passed the string rather than just giving it to
+ console.log().
-THE WAY FORWARD
+ Create a logging widget which displays the output of debug().
+
+ Check that library selection (authentication) by hostname
+ works for MKWS.
+
+ Add library selection by secret key as an alternative to
+ selection by user/pw. This is appropriate for
+ security-conscious customers to embed in their own CORS-aware
+ Apache2 configuration.
+
+ Auto-executing widgets should be able to specifying limits (as
+ a full set of MK2-like widgets does in order to implement
+ facets).
+
+ Auto-executing widgets should be able to include filters (as a
+ full set of MK2-like widgets does in order to implement the
+ Target facet). This can be used to implement target categories
+ as well as the current cruder target-selection-by-ID facility.
+
+ Do target selection by UDB rather than ZURL. May need SP
+ changes, but we might already have the necessary functions.
-* Widget gallery
- Mainly a marketing thing on mkws.indexdata.com
- May also have a role in widget creation in MKAdmin
We will want a facets-only widget, e.g. to list top authors
- Visualisations e.g. pie-chart of authors, bar-graph of records
- Generate embedded SVG? Does that even work?
- Demo of something embedded in our Koha installation
- Blog entries with interesting new widgets
-* Administration
-* Architecture:
- * Includes connectors
- * Managed widgets
- * 3rd party widget platforms
-* Integration guides
-* Use cases - workflows

-In the widget builder, we want to expose capability information (from
-ZeeRex or a Torus record) in a human-consumable form: "this target can
-sort by recency", that kind of thing.

-Auto-widgets should be able to include limits (as a full set of
-MK2-like widgets does in order to implement facets).
-
-Auto-widgets should be able to include filters (as a full set of
-MK2-like widgets does in order to implement the Target facet). This
-can be used to implement target categories,
-
-Add a capability facet to MKAdmin. The right way to do this is to
-refactor the current hardwiry facet code to be more data-driven, then
-add a configuration element to include capabilities as a facet.
-
-In the widget builder, we should be able to filter the targets
-available to the widget on the basis of what requirements the widget
-has, e.g. ability to sort by recency. The capability facet in MKAdmin
-may suffice for this.
-
-We need additional image-URL fields in our records -- in the connector
-framework, in the Torus record's capabilities and elsewhere. Figure
-out what's needed, and who needs to do it.
-
-Can the IRSpy toroid be made to return a meaningful capability field?
-
-Make MKAdmin able to filter target list on whether we have access:
-that is, to targets that either are open-access or we have credentials
-or an IP proxy for.
-
-The widget-builder widget (WBW) should have a Save button that is
-customised by a callback, so that the widget in question can (for
-example) be copied into the clipboard, pasted into a nominated div,
-saved to a database or whatever.
