So it looks like the Konfabulator people (think Dashboard-OSX, but platform independent) got bought by Yahoo, and they have renamed it Yahoo Widget Engine. ([widget.yahoo.com](http://widget.yahoo.com)) Anyone know XML/JS and willing to play around with them to make a widget to get flights?

I just downloaded the Yahoo Widget engine. Wow, the possiblity for Flightaware to use this is awesome. I don’t know anything about the programming, but hopefully someone can throw a widget together for the Yahoo engine. That would be great to have the info right there on the desktop. Who’s game? 8)
