GDWikiWatch is a Google Desktop sidebar plug-in. It displays your Wikipedia watchlist in the Google sidebar, in a format just like any other sidebar plug-in. It's still in its early stages, but I plan to finish it and release it in the near future.
In the end it will be open source; however, I can't release it, let alone open-source it, at the moment because my Wikipedia username and password are hardcoded in the program ;)
I have been careful with the load it imposes on the Wikimedia servers. It makes two requests to login (at startup), and one request for each time it updates. (every 3 mins).
I know it's sort of silly to request comments before the thing's available, but I would like to solicit constructive comments regarding the program (e.g., whether you would use it, and if so, how), and I'll implement as many of those as possible.
Please post comments to the talk page. Thank you!
By the way, it was programmed in Visual C# 2005 Express Edition, using the Google Desktop SDK.
