With the experimental GtkMozEmbed on hand, I would like to have some discussion about the BookmarkKit. Frankly, the most important question I have is what kind of storage we should use ? We can go for one bookmark per file (as Mac OSX), single file (property list), or system-wide database (CoreData/sqlite3). OSX switch to per-file based system because of the indexing. And it is indeed the best situation for LuceneKit. But since this kind of data is structured, a system-wide database is not a bad solution considering sqlite3 does offer searching. If we can decide the storage system, we can also use it for AddessesKit, and probably Grr. And if the CoreData is ready, it is not a bad idea to integrate everything together.
Another question is how do we display bookmark in GNUstep GUI ? Most application display it as submenu of a horizontal menu. But since we can have a vertical menu (standard GNUstep GUI), would it be a little too wide (main menu + bookmark submenu with website title) ? By the way, do people think it is fine to put this experimental web browser into SVN ? Now, it is more experimental until the GCC-4.1 is widely availble and we have our own ObjC(++) binding to mozilla. If so, we need a name for it. I prefer not to use GtkMozEmbed. Probably a lizard name, such as anoles, etc I did check the WebKit, but it is far from usable on Linux/FreeBSD. And who knows when it will be available. On the Linux/FreeBSD side, mozilla is still a better solution. Linking to libraries is always better than porting libraries considering we don't have enough man power now. Have fun.
