Allow Widgets to be deployed to portal as a plugin - IE widgets without self hosting.

Would like to see a pluggable widgets.
Want to be able to code a widget, package it, and deploy it through the existing portal. Then enable it and use it without self hosting and owning infrastructure and code.

Please look at wordpress for examples.

Hi David, thanks for the feedback, that's kind of a plan - have a widget/container seamlessly boxed into a restricted iframe. We're planning to work on it in Jan.

Do you have a link to the WordPress example you mentioned? Maybe we could steal some ideas.

@david-schwartz-by On top of what @azaslonov mentioned, we also welcome contributions to the portal's codebase - we will consider incorporating every community-contributed widget in the managed portal.
