I just set up an (empty) repo, 
https://github.com/KenDickey/Cuis-Smalltalk-Morphic for this.

The README.md says:

"Morphic-Widgets for general use

This is a work in progress intended to replace Morphic-Misc1 and 
Morphic-Widgets-Extras with a more useful set of widgets and widget 
components for Morphic authoring.
"

I attached a previous note (a bit old now).

One question is if/how to "layer" widgets and components.

For example, DropColorMorph, FontMorph, SignMorph, .. are used for Drag 
'n Drop but are not widgets themselves.  Likewise, radio buttons, number 
entry, simple editing, multi-select, .. are useful components.

Would it be less confusing to Cuis users to have a Widgets package which 
depends on a Widget-Components package?

Are there useful ways to organize multiple packages that both reduce 
confusion and perhaps aid learning or should we have a (hopefully) small 
"most of what you want/need" General-Use-Widgets and separately loadable 
packages for Color Editing, Layout & Layout Spec Editing, Color Picker 
Selection .. ?

If you would like to contribute and I have not added your name to the 
Access/Collaborator list, let me know.  I just started with some of the 
"usual suspects".

Right now we have a blank sheet of paper, which is the worst case.  You 
may wish to wait for concrete proposals and fix 'em.

Good on ya,
