Seems there's a slight naming conflict. Main one I noticed is the confusing conflict between motion and tiger.
Motion Dashboards:
http://www.apple.com/motion/workflow.html
And, of course, Dashboard:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/dashboard.html
So are the Motion dashboards considered widgets (or gadgets, as they are reported called in the developer docs)? Or are the motion dashboards just acting like app-specific widgets and then a big dashboard that is just the name for the widget environment? It seems like it's a bit of a mess right now.
Then there's apparently the other naming issue: are widgets really gadgets or are gadgets really widgets?
