I just saw the website http://yourminis.com which has nice little widgets like the one below. Just posting it here so others can use it e.g. in .LRN and maybe we could get part of the content of an OpenACS site exposed as a miniwidget. Not sure what else we could do, but I could envision that we could use the RSS widget as an alternative way to display content in OpenACS as (if I remember correctly) search has an RSS integration.
