Why

This widget has proved to have a huge impact connecting users to their local communities. It does not make sense for WP.com to "discard" this widget and we are doing a disfavour to ourselves, to our users and to the WordPress project by doing so. Please add it.

Yes, we have a link to WP-Admin but it will go unnoticed to most users.

How

We can use Calypso's Design/Interface, but we should include that information there.

This idea came up while working on this post.
