Anyhow, I like the idea of some sort of widget library or catalog.

Me too! The idea of widgets/components is something I've had in the back of my mind since I discovered Nevow. Components are not as easy to do with nevow.renderer as they should be but that's an implementation detail and can be fixed. In fact, the experimental rend module (in the Nevow tracker) already helps.
the trick is making them general-purpose enough that people can still use them, but not making them too overbroad (so that they're tough to figure out or too clunky to implement).
Agreed. Other than the API itself, the most obvious thing is to make sure there is a default stylesheet with the widget but that it can be replaced by the application.
Most importantly, have you put your code up anywhere yet? :)
For now, why not put the code in the Nevow wiki, http://divmod.org/users/slyphon.twistd/nevow/moin.cgi/ , and use a category to group them.
