I think that's the Showcase tab on the search window they are talking
about.  Kokua likely already has that switched over to the new widgets,
as I would guess recent LL code base has them.

I actually don't know if OpenSim supplies a suitable "Showcase feed".

At any rate, we could just get rid of the Showcase tab.  I don't see a
"Showcase" widget listed, so I can't say if there's a direct
replacement.  Doubting if any of those widgets will work on OpenSim.
SL can (and do) show on their splash page some of these widgets.  Do we
really need them in the viewer?


Otherwise, it's just a web page with some javascript in to throw up
what ever widgets we desire.  Design a suitable web page, have a menu
item that opens it up, that's simple enough.  Or, assuming it's already
in Kokua from LL's code base, just copy that into Imprudence.

Don't think I have even looked at the Showcase tab as a user in years.
