I think we should rethink the whole widgetWidget A WordPress Widget is a small block that performs a specific function. You can add these widgets in sidebars also known as widget-ready areas on your web page. WordPress widgets were originally created to provide a simple and easy-to-use way of giving design and structure control of the WordPress theme to the user. and rewrite of the whole widget APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways., not just the hot up the widgets screen.
I want widgets to be a lot more flexible and pluggable. First of all, it should be extremely easy to create a widgets. Everything that should be needed should be a function/file/hook for the configuration form and one function/file/hook for the presentation. It would also be cool to have a widget repository like the repositories for plugins and themes so you can install new widgets with a simple click right in wp-adminadmin (and super admin).

I would also like a simple solution for using these Widgets in the content areas, not just the sidebars. Maybe by using shortcodes to add a widet to a content area or, even better, just use them as objects(like videos and images) that you can resize and drag around. Widgets would be more like pluggable views than inflexible sidebarSidebar A sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme. boxes.

The question about the number of sidebars is problematic. First, actual sidebars or widgetized areas? Second, which theme on which site?
