As a follow up to the Tag Cloud widget, Dekoh is now publishing the next open source widget, a thumbnail maker.
Thumbnail maker is a simple image utility which helps you create thumbnails out of any image/photo. You can make a thumbnail with outlines of rectangle, square, circle or a star. Thumbnails can be made in 4 sizes.
Developers can use the widget in their applications with minimal modifications. The user interface has been implemented in Javascript. The demo contains two different server-side implementations - Servlet and DWR. You can find these demos at http://www.dekoh.org/widgets/thumbnailmaker.
To find out how you can embed it in your application or to download the widget source, visit the documentation page.

As a precursor to releasing our open-source desktop-web integration platform, Dekoh; we are rolling out some AJAX widgets under open source license. Developers can use these widgets with their applications and provide feedback. These widgets will be self contained with core functionality and the styling/UI elements. The data model for these widgets is pluggable, allowing developers to provide custom implementations for their backend programming model. You can find out more about Dekoh Widgets here.
New widgets will be released every week during the run-up to the product release. The AJAX tag cloud widget is now available. The tag cloud widget can be used as a navigation tool or as a tag management tool. The widget has built-in features like: time/usage/freq filters, sorting, built in styles, cloud/list view. As a tag management tool, it supports edit options like: add/delete/merge/rename. Below is a screen shot of the tag cloud.
It has a pluggable data model for fetching information from the backend application. Try the live demo of the widget fetching the sample tags from the backend as an XML using AJAX. Here’s another demo of the tag cloud fetching the tag data using JSON.
To find out how you can embed it in your application or to download the widget source visit the documentation page. If you want to tweak your data model or want to use the widget with Ruby on Rails, you can go over the documentation here.
If you have used the widget with any other programming model or have any comments/feedback or feature requests, do leave a comment.
