Yet another status update

I know, I know... I've been promising a demo of the new widgets for
several weeks.

But the non-arrival of a demo does not mean development has been slow. 
Please, check the widget audit status page... it's getting very close to
being fully completed except for table/grid stuff:

I have a problem when it comes to releasing things like demos.  I'm not
happy to release something with known bugs.  Also, as I keep making
progress on other widgets, I get eager to include them and hence that
delays a demo even further.

However, a demo is forthcoming.  Given the progress on all the widgets, it
should be done this week.  (Honestly!)  Once all the widgets are working
and bug free, really, there will be no excuse for me to delay any further.
 And we're only really talking about submenu, spin, and tree off the top
of my head.  That should not be a week's worth of work.

Of course, any help in getting the widgets up to speed is welcome. :) 
Also, if anybody fancies, I would kill (just name the target) for grid
functionality in the core so I can do table and I can glorfiy a couple of
the other widgets.

I would also like (but am not willing to kill for) the 'complete' redirect
functionality that Adam was talking about a while back, where you could
have a template literally make itself invisible by redirecting everything
to it's target, including child manipulation calls:

<box id="top"><redirecting id="middle"><box id="content"
/></redirecting></box>

Where $top[0][] refers to $contents' children.
