        columns, a column can contain any number of widgets. So you can use
        dashboard to render complex composite page or external data source.
        
        Now anz.dashboard carried the following widgets:
        
        - static text widget
          render static HTML contents that edit with a WYSIWYG editor by dashboard
          owner.
        - calender widget
          show events information in calendar.
        - weather widget
          show weather of specific city.
        - rss feed widget
          show contents get from any rss feed.
        - folder contents widget
          show contents under specific folders.
        
        Requirements
        ============
        Plone 3.0 or later
        
        Installation
        ============
        To install anz.dashboard into the global Python environment (or a
        workingenv), using a traditional Zope 2 instance, you can do this:
        
        * When you're reading this you have probably already run 
          ``easy_install anz.dashboard``. Find out how to install setuptools
          (and EasyInstall) here:
          http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall
        
        * Create a file called ``anz.dashboard-configure.zcml`` in the
          ``/path/to/instance/etc/package-includes`` directory.  The file
          should only contain this::
        
            <include package="anz.dashboard" />
        
        Alternatively, if you are using zc.buildout and the
        plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to manage your project, you can do this:
        
        * Add ``anz.dashboard`` to the list of eggs to install, e.g.:
        
        ::
        
            [buildout]
            ...
            eggs =
                ...
                anz.dashboard
               
        * Tell the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to install a ZCML slug:
        
        ::
        
            [instance]
            recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
            ...
            zcml =
                anz.dashboard
        
        anz.dashboard
        =====================
        
              
        * Re-run buildout, e.g. with:
        
        ::
        
            $ ./bin/buildout
                
        You can skip the ZCML slug if you are going to explicitly include the
        package from another package's configure.zcml file.
        
        In Plone just add "anz.dashboard" product with quick_installer, or install
        "anz.dashboard" by portal_setup.
