[ge-talk] Bookmarks and email

[Ari Haviv]

it looked like such an easy solution. Our file system has attributes and why
not make every bookmark and email a separate file so you can do searches and
sharing. The problem is, no file system and especially ours can handle lots
of small files!

So for performance, browsers such as Firefox stores bookmarks in 1 file and
most email clients use some kind of mbox variant or proprietary format.
How do we avoid this problem? You want to try a new browser and you now have
to import bookmarks and constantly sync. Then you decide you've had enough
with the syncing and don't give the new browser a chance.

That's not really what we want on haiku.

So I'm hoping for some shared solution that can deal with these situations.
Firefox is working on a database system for its bookmarks and history. Maybe
that can be abstracted out of the browser?
