For widget developers

If you are a widget developer and want to see your widgets added to the widget DB you can get an admin account for the database which will enable you to add/edit/remove your widgets in the database. Just PM me (very_bad_soldier) and I will provide all you need. Big thanks to manolo_ at this point who helped a lot keeping the database up to date in the last years!
