Which new widgets would you like most?

Hi Mendix community, I'm a Mendix developer at Pegamento B.V. I'm personally investing time in making Mendix better by the development of new widgets, in the process of making these widgets I'm also going to be making releases for public use. The new Mendix widgets I'm going to be developing are going to be in the "answers" below, please up-vote a widget description if you feel that the widget would be a very strong addition to the standard Mendix collection of widgets. Also please leave feedback on them, this feedback could be links to widgets with similar functionality, questions, your personal ideas for them or feature requests. That way I will try and improve on the widget feature lists and design so that it best serves the community and future usage. If you're interested in collaboration on some of these widgets drop me an email at mpuijker@pegamento.nl And please follow the development progress on my github page, the first releases will depend on your input.
