The ideas discuessed in Arachne digest about bookmarks are very simillar
to my actual plans: current primitive bookmark functionality will be
probably totaly removed, or made only optional, and some kind of DGI
script will be called, which will produced dialogue simillar to
movemail.dgi selection box. However, compact HTML page will be generated
by such manager, so you can still copy all personal data in single file,
upload them to web or attach to e-mail, etc.

Anyone can start writing such manager: MIME.CFG syntax will be

addbookmark.dgi >HTM|someprog.exe "$u" $h>$2

or something like that; it will always get current URL and hotlist
filename. I don't have time to play with it right now, but I have simple
plan how to do it. Categories will be stored as simple <A HREFs> to
internal <A NAME...> anchors, and once someone writes category editor, the
same graphical interface can be used also to manage mail folders (or,
another plan is to enhance clipboard features of ARachne, which are
currently limited to multiple file deleting, to allow full file
management; the problem is I must work on real world problems like cookies
or JavaScript, which is what big customers are ready to pay big money
for. This is reality - no one is really willing to pay me for creating
full featured desktop enviroment, although I would like to write something
like that, provided that such desktop is portable also to Linux...
