    Base class for a widget for the dashboard.

    Every app which wants to add widgets to the dashboard has to create a
    widget class subclassing from this base class. The name attribute has to be
    set. It has to be unique. The metaclass (SignalConnectMetaClass) does the
    rest of the magic.

    like verbose_name, required_permission, default_column, default_weight,
