The macro directory needs to be somewhere accessible to everyone. All users should be able to easily browse it, and check out the macros. Also a *Add to dashboard* button should be displayed next to each of the macros. Should look something like this: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Mockups/GadgetsIntegrationProposal1#HGadgetsDirectory And when adding a Macro to a dashboard, something like this: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Mockups/GadgetsIntegrationProposal1#HGadgetsDirectoryAdditnowDialogforaGadget I think only Admins should be able to: import Google Gadgets as Macros, edit, delete macros.
