[Mediawiki-l] Mediawiki and video

[B. M. Whealton]

How can I learn more about widgets?  I am still in the newbie stage with 
mediawiki.  Forgive me if my question sounds dumb or naive but...It 
sounds like it might be an easy concept, though.  Conceptually, how is a 
widget approach different than the embedvideo extension.
I do see that one could actually include twitter widgets, I guess to 
have a running display of the latest tweets on a page/article?
Thanks,
Bruce
