 * Hi:
 * I have two questions about this plugin
 * 1. How does it work with multisite? Can I safely network activate it or do I 
   have to activate it on each individual site?
 * 2. Is there a way to force the install to not touch the dashboard widgets as 
   a default? Right now the description says that it forces all widgets off the 
   dashboard. I’d prefer to do the opposite since I have a lot of widgets I would
   want to remain on the dashboard. Plug some widgets already have their own role-
   based control.
 * Thanks very much!

 * 1) It hasn’t been tested or developed with multi-site installs in mind so I don’t
   know how it behaves there. Installing it per-site is probably your best chance
   of success.
 * 2) No, there isn’t an option to change the default behavior. If you are a developer
   you could modify the code to set the access to “read” for each widget it initially
   detects.

 * Hi Josh:
 * Thanks very much for the update. I just contracted out this project to a developer
   to test multisite compatibility and to add a flag for the default treatment of
   the widgets (remove on startup or leave alone unless otherwise specified).
 * I am not sure if you would be interested in the code when its done. I don’t expect
   it to be a major change unless there are multisite compatibility issues. So, 
   hopefully, if you are interested in the changes, the minor code changes can be
   rolled into some future version.
 * Thanks again for your answers
