Great idea Yehuda!
You've been doing a lot to promote the jQuery scene lately, which can only be a good thing for future development!
I personally would love to see something like the fisheye widget which is awsomely cool.
There really needs to be more plugins on the scene that have the 'wow' factor. Currently IMHO, thickbox holds that title, and yet there are others that could extend Cody's work further with simple things like Interface.
I've already begun work on a model window plugin/widget much alike the one on Dojo (called jAlert). Basically, they do the same as alerts, but look nicer, and can be resized, dragged, minimized, maximized and closed. This resulted from my work on Thickbox and JavaWin.

that while we don't quite have anything like that yet, there are scattered
widgets throughout the jQuerysphere. I figured it'd be nice for us to put
together a jQuery widget package that, to the extent possible, mirrors the
Dojo widget set.
The challenge is this: where there is no existing widget, create it. The
holy grail, at this point, would be a replication of their spreadsheet
widget or their rich text editor widget.
I'd like to put together the widget pack at some point in the next month,
and I'll be featuring the widget pack in next month's Magazine. Theere's
nothing requiring an exact mirror of the Dojo widgets, so feel free to
submit widgets that are not present in Dojo.
You can check out what Dojo has currently at http://dojotoolkit.org/
Enjoy!
