Suggestion: Additional AdminCP Dashboard Overview widgets

[The Old Man]

In the AdminCP main dashboard view, you can Add widgets to show an overview of Gallery, Downloads and Blogs.

To build on this existing facility, would you consider adding extra widgets to show stats for Forums and Calendars too? This would provide an at a glance summary of all the main stats for the community suite.

Perhaps a Members Overview as well. Make them cache-able, so updated say once every 24hrs.

For example, in a Forums Overview widget, include the basics such as Forums, Sub-Forums, Topics, Replies. Then perhaps like in your Downloads Overview, you could add Most Viewed Topics, Largest Topic (based on number of replies). Perhaps even Average Daily and Monthly Views.

For example, in a Calendar Overview AdminCP widget, you could include the basics such as Total Events, Total RSVP's, Total Featured Events, Total Comments.

Others may be Total Reviews for each app as well, which the Gallery and Downloads widgets don't currently have.

Many thanks.

Thanks Joel, looks interesting and I'm tempted but probably a bit overkill for my needs. I'd honestly prefer IPS to improve the default built-in offering a little rather than rely on a mod.
