2. Widgets wanted:
   • UC-Widget-01: "I run the Community Directory for our local Shire and want to have a current list of all the farmer's markets and community gardens in our region." Use RSS to push a content chunk. Use some rendering tools to create "widget" that can be dropped into 3rd party site.
   • UC-Widget-02: "I run the Farmers Markets Association. We have re-built our site and want a little map on the front page that people can use to locate their nearest Farmers Market" (as above?)
