Please, detail each point you want to discuss in a separated note so we 
can have a conclusion on which way to go.
Also it would be great to add screenshots comparing the proposed widgets 
for the new UI and the widget you think will have better usability.
That way everyone can see (without the need to open a file or browser an 
URL) which is better and opine.

You don't need to have every piece done to starting sending them to 
review on ML.
If you are doing if per widgets you can send one patch per widget, so we 
can see you progress and also opine on how it looks like and also about 
the code.
