This is great! Would you mind sharing how you got started? Is there a great tutorial out there for building indicators and widgets for unity? I tried to do this twice, once for unity and another time for the gnome shell and I couldn't find anything useful out there (or even figure out what programming language I needed to know) and became pretty discouraged. I think that was about a year or two ago and it seemed like outsiders to those respective dev communities faced an exceedingly uphill battle. I mentioned this to a gnome dev I know and he agreed that the docs were lacking but is there a secret or something new we don't know about?
