Dashboard Widgets are small programs that sit on the Dashboard of Mac OS X (Tiger). Here are some that Williams people might like.
WSO Announcements
This is a combined feed of items under Announcements, Exchange, and Lost & Found. It just reads in the appropriate RSS feeds from WSO.
WSO Discussions
Want to keep up with the excitement of WSO Discussions from your Dashboard? This is what you want.
Download both WSO widgets here: Media:WSO Widgets.dmg
Developing Widgets
If you want to make your own Widget that students might find useful, check out http://developer.apple.com/macosx/dashboard.html
