What a wonderful toy! This widget sets up a database table that holds user-contributed definitions for words. The widget displays a word and its definition, hyperlinking each word in the definition to that word’s own definition. If a word is undefined, it instead links to a form that allows the user to define the word. I can see this being a ton of fun.
The demo is Dutch. The first person to set this up for English or any other language should leave a link here in the comments!

Release Candidate 3 (really web 2.0, always in beta) has been released. The widget didn’t work on wordpress blogs installed in a subdirectory.

Version 0.9.1 now generates a RSS feed for words in the dictionary.

Some serious bugfixing brought the widget to version 1.2.
- WordPress installations in subdirectories are now handled correctly.
- If your WordPress settings used “www.” in the siteurl-options and you requested the site without the “www.” (or vice versa) you got a ‘Permission denied’ in IE. This has been fixed.
