Hi everyone, I want to suggest to think about whether we want to create/let create a Wikipedia toolbar (as you all know from Ebay, Yahoo, Google, Nature etc.). This would enable even the most active Wikipedians (besides the less active visitors) to instantly search WP and - optionally later - to benefit from other 1-click features (eg "My watchlist" or "In the news" as well as "Recent changes" or "My contributions"). Even if I am not (yet) a programmer being capable of programming this ... I have found a page offering a toolbar kit (www.custom-toolbars.com). Further development issues should be clarified when a general opinion has been made ... pls discuss.

This thing used to work for Mozilla (I expect Firebird as well): http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/misc.html#add_sidebar
There seems to have appeared a bug of some sort which prevents it from really working properly (you can find a link to the bug on the page linked above).
A little introduction for the brave ones: drag the *link* "add sidebar" (yes, click and drag on the green text) to your bookmarks, visit the page you want to "sidebar-ize" and click that link from your bookmarks. Presto!
