Rules
- The widget should be in flatfile format. The uploaded file must be 16KB (16,384 bytes) or less.
You must use the standard Widget Converter to pack your widget.
- Your <widget> tag must have a minimumVersion attribute, which may be set to 4.0 or 4.5, at your choice.
- Even if the widget's minimumVersion is 4.5, you cannot use the new Web or Flash features.
- It must be cross-platform. UNIX utils shouldn't be used.
- A user may submit more than one entry, as long as they are unique (not
trivial variations of the same widget).
- You may not bundle executable files in the Widget file. Using runCommand() is forbidden.
- Removing whitespace and using short variable names to lower the size of the
widget is allowed, even though it would make the code unreadable.
- All resources must be contained within the package. You cannot download code or images from the
Internet. That doesn't mean you can't download anything; you can make a widget that uses an
Internet resource (like one that shows weather).
- Participants are not allowed to release their Widget to the public (like on the official Yahoo!
Widgets gallery) until the contest is over.
- Entries from last year which are only repackaged to fit within the new rules are not permitted.
