Widgetized Dashboard: this very efficient plugin allows you to populate your Dashboard with the widgets you want, all the widgets you want, and just the widgets you want, just like sidebar widgets. Remove the “Plugins” widget? Add any RSS feed you like? You name it.

In my early WordPress 2.5 review a few weeks before it was released, I was mentioning that a widgetised Dashboard should open the door for some cool and crazy Dashboard plugins (a small “quick post” mini form? To-do lists?). Widgetized Dashboard is actually just what was missing for this.
Very cool plugin, and gives some justice to our potentially-but-not-yet cool Dashboard. Should be core. (while I’m at it, I’d like an option to remove the whole “Right Now” section)
