This page is about the bookmarks system refactoring for 4.3 using Akonadi / Nepomuk. It's mostly Konqueror-centric, but we must keep in mind the bookmarks system is used by many applications. Comments and ideas are welcome.

General picture

Current state of bookmarks

Currently provided classes : KBookmark, KBookmarkGroup, KBookmarksManager and others.
Many apps use it : Konqueror, Konsole, Kate, Okular, ... need to keep backwards compatibility.
Bookmarks are stored in a per-application XBEL file, parsed by KBookmarksManager.

Desired features

Sync with online services / other sources
Rating / tagging / other metainformations
Site snapshots storage

Other ideas to discuss

Only use tags instead of folders. Epiphany does this, mitigated reactions
Store it in mysql instead of files
Merge bookmarks and history (to get history tagging / rating) : a bookmark may be a properly tagged history entry

Implementation

The consensus seems to be :

using Akonadi to handle storage and sync
using Nepomuk to handle tagging / metadata
reuse and extend existing kdelibs/kio API

We need to define :

which one we use to export data to standard KDE classes
what is done and what is to do
