I have created a little WordPress plugin in the shape of a widget, which allows the user to display an excerpt of a page in a sidebar area of their choice. 
I wrote this to replace a little theme hack I did for a client, where the front page was supposed to have an excerpt of a page on the front page, of course linking to the full page. Instead of keeping it that way and hard coding the page-id, I wanted something where the end user could change which page was supposed to be linked. I hope it will be of use to someone.
Right now you can:
<ul>
<li>Define the amount of characters to use as an excerpt</li>
<li>Select the page from all existing pages</li>
<li>Link the title of the page, to the page</li>
<li>Append a link to the page</li>
<li>Decide a custom label for the read more link</li>
<li>add multiple instances of the widget</li>
</ul>
I plan to increase the functionality with:
<ul>
<li>some internationalisation</li>
</ul>
<h3>Suggestions welcome</h3>
Since this is my first plugin and widget, suggestions, improvements and more are very welcome. I’ve also published the code on github, for easier discussion and improvement. https://github.com/JonathanMH/page-excerpt-widget
