New Internet Community for Developers of Dashboard? Widgets–Mac mini contest

DashboardDeveloper launched today as a community for developers of “widgets”, mini-applications for Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger. While Tiger won’t be available to the public for quite some time, DashboardDeveloper is giving developers the opportunity to start developing and sharing their creations.
DashboardDeveloper’s revolutionary Showcase section is a custom-built forum for widget sharing. Developers can upload widgets and screenshots along with a description and detailed version information. Other users can download and leave comments on the widgets.

Developers have already started creating Dashboard widgets and DashboardDeveloper wants to reward them. DashboardDeveloper will give a Mac mini to the developer of our users’ favorite widget. On February 18, users will vote for their favorite widget in terms of aesthetics, functionality, and purpose. For more information, visit http://www.dashboarddev.com/contest.

I also read a blog this past weekend where the writer was pondering whether the ridges on the new contest bottles were put there to discourage peeking…until he saw our story with images. According to the blogger, the hack still works… I just wish I could remember which blog it was.
