Comment (by stevenkword):

 I've attached widgets.txt which contains a list of all classes which
 extend `WP_Widget` from the plugin repository.

 The list was created using Mark Jaquith's  [https://github.com/markjaquith
 /WordPress-Plugin-Directory-Slurper WordPress-Plugin-Directory-Slurper] to
 obtain a directory of plugins.

 Then I used the following command to create the file:
 `ack-grep --php "[a-zA-Z_\x7f-\xff][a-zA-Z0-9_\x7f-\xff]*. extends
 WP_Widget" ./plugins/ | cut -d' ' -f2 > ./widgets.txt`

 The pattern was taken from here: [http://php.net/manual/en/functions.user-
 defined.php]
