Publisher's Descriptions
Wikipedia Widget is a dashboard widget for browsing the free, user-created encyclopedia, Wikipedia. Search for articles and view from the Dashboard, complete with pictures and links.
Features:
Compatible with any language wikipedia, just enter the 2 (sometimes 3 or more) letter code on the back. Defaults to English.
External links open in your preferred browser.
Click the 'wikipedia' button to the left of the search field to open the current article or search term in Safari.
The little '?' button to the left of the search field will pull a random article into the widget (Special:Randompage query).
Back and forward buttons with page caching.
Known bugs:
External links that include most unicode characters can't be sent to your preferred browser.
ToDo:
Set a time-out on page-grabbing.
Create a better looking collapsed state.
Add up and down scroll buttons at the bottom of the scroll bar.
Come up with a way to open the same article in another language, like the side menu of Wikipedia.org's interface.
Display a contextual menu when a link is right-clicked.
The current "temporary" user interface has lasted much longer than I had planned. This needs to be beautified.
Clean up and comment the code, to simplify the lives of those borrowing code for their own projects.
Fancify this page a bit, but nothing extravagant.
Put out a release significant enough to be called ONE POINT OHH. One of these days it'll happen, I promise.
