Gadgets are the new thing for Atlassian applications. You can now add gadgets to be displayed on your Atlassian dashboards or wiki pages. To allow this new functionality, two things need to happen:
We are updating the Atlassian applications progressively, to provide increasing levels of support for gadgets. This page shows the level of support provided by each application.
Integration with Atlassian Gadgets can mean a lot of things, from simply publishing gadgets for use by other products to a fully-fledged configurable dashboard with a custom back-end storage implementation. We have defined a scale of Atlassian Gadget Support Levels (AGSLs) that describe each level of integration. We recommend that you work through each level in turn, fully implementing support for one before going on to the next.
The matrix below shows the Atlassian applications which provide at least some support for Atlassian gadgets, and the gadget capabilities supported.
(If the application version number is in brackets, this indicates a future release of the application that is expected to support the capabilities described.)

Capability | Description |
---|---|
Gadget Publication | The application provides gadgets for use by itself or other applications. In technical terms, the application is able to serve gadget specification files for consumption by Atlassian or non-Atlassian gadget containers. Typically, the gadget specification files are bundled into plugins. The plugins may be bundled with the application or installed later. |
Gadget Display | The host application supports some mechanism for embedding and displaying individual gadgets in a page or dashboard. In technical terms, the gadget contents is rendered via the Atlassian Gadgets Renderer and Shindig. |
Configurable Dashboards | The application offers one or more read/write dashboards supporting multiple gadgets and a customised layout. |
Gadget Subscription | The application allows the administrator to "subscribe" to another application's gadgets. This means that all the gadgets published by the second application will be available to the first application. There is no need to add each gadget via its URL. |
