I'm not a developer, but I wanted to know if any developers out there feel like taking on a small project?

Would anyone want to make a Wikipedia contextual menu plug-in? You know how you can right click on something and Search in Google or Search in Spotlight? Well, how about a simple Search in Wikipedia contextual menu?

Does one already exist? Or does anyone feel like making one?

I find that Google is faster than Wikipedia's own search engine, so I tend to use the former when I need to use the latter. Maybe you could modify an existing plug-in: you just need to add "wiki" or "wikipedia" automatically at the end of the query
