I don't think it is appropriate to add a link in the right panel of 
Arabic Wikipedia pages, after all we don't see the English Wikipedia 
putting a link in all pages to the wikitionary, or any other open 
Dictionary.

I think it would be appropriate to link to that great dictionary from 
the "Arabic Language" article. And as I told Nadim, I will put the miniQ 
in a block in some Linux related sites such as linux4arab and 
openarabia.. After all, it seems that the Right Menu is not easy to 
customize and to add to.

As for the Wikitionary, Did Arabeyes put the Wordlist under GNU FDL ?
Another thing, it is my understanding that the Wordlist (and QaMoose) 
are English-Arabic .. I guess that the word list will be of great input 
to the English Wikitionary, to provide Arabic translation for English 
words, for example:
http://wiktionary.org/wiki/Bird

Will have an Arabic translation. I guess that knowing that the Wordlist 
is more than 80k entries it will be a huge effort to move the words in 
it to the English Wikitionary. I really hoped that the Word List would 
be of ANY use to build an Arabic-English dictionary, but it seems that 
it is not what it was designed for.
