Are you talking about the widgets, the widget "engine", the widget manager on mobile or something else ? Like the rest of Opera's native code, the widget manager and engine are not open source. But the widgets themselves and all the APIs are fully open. The widget manifest and related APIs are standardized by the W3C. Btw NetFront recently announced, or even released, a widget engine based on the W3C spec. Making a platform agnostic widget is a really cool challenge. It's not trivial to make a little application that adapt to various resolutions ( from 176x208 to ~VGA, with the implication on font and graphics size ) in both portrait and landscape, work well with different input devices ( joystick, stylus, mouse, ... ), ... And the prizes aren't too shady. It's not [Dr. Evil] 1 millions dollards [/Dr. Evil], but even the intermediary prizes 50-300 USD Amazon gift card are nice.
