Kogo's joseki dictionary

The deeper you get into the world of Go, the biggest the need for patterns. There is where Kogo's joseki dictionary comes into our way: it's a dictionary of joseki patterns, with some thousands in it, and their respective commentaries.
Once you open it, you'll see the different variations and their comment. It is here (On the ocomments) where some variations include the * symbol to mark their rellevance. Trick plays are also marked as such, with their continuations.

For more info and download, check Kogo's dictionary site.

There is a java applet added to the site on the lower left, so that you can use the dictionary without leaving the page, though I personally recommend using your own preferred program.
You may also find interesting the Joseki section at Sensei's

Now it is available directly from this site at the "ZGo added" post.

Once you click there, a new window will appear and will start loading Kogo's dictionary. It's one megabyte, so you have to wait for a while...
