I've written a References block that lets you select text with your mouse (IE or Mozilla, others can copy and paste) then search for it on several useful sites, or translate it among a variety of languages.
It also functions as a bookmarklet, so you can drag it to your toolbar and use it anywhere in the site.
If you want to test it out, you can go here:
http://teachanything.net/course/view.php?id=38
Login as teacher, password teacher.
I'll release the code after people have beat on it a bit (and, of course, if anyone is interested).
Have fun!
It looks fine!
If you post it here we will try it!!
Thnx
I'm also intersted in thi block, but couldn't find it in the CVS.. could you post it here, or send it by e-mail?
Thank you
Luca
Have a look in http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/moodle/contrib/block_reference/
Fair warning: this hasn't been tested at all with 1.5 (real life has taken a major bite out of my coding time of late). Should work okay with 1.4.x at least.

Great block, Tony! When I went to check it, though, I found out about another great thing you are aparently involved in: the Wikipedia filter. Is this also available somewhere? I see there were some postings in the text filter forum a while ago but I'd like to know what the status of this is.
Any idea about whether the 'references block' and the Wikipedia filters will become part of future standard distributions of Moodle?
Thanks for the great work.
