Dojo Book Dashboard Widget (for Mac OSX)

I have been wanting a dashboard widget that indexes the pages for the Dojo Book so that I can quickly access items without needing to pull up the pages...well, I finally caved and wrote one myself. You can get it from http://www.toonetown.com/projects/downloads/DojoBook.zip

This was thrown together, quite literally, in about an hour - using Dashcode. I even used a custom-built version of dojo to generate the tree widget in the dashboard widget. I was pretty impressed with how easily it all came together - the biggest pain was getting the list of links in to the tree.

Now, the hard part will be keeping it up to date.

Let me know if you find this useful - and if you have any suggestions for improving on it.
