Bookmark Manager
I've been toying with the idea of implementing an integrated bookmark manager into Wikka. With the demise of de.lirio.us imminent, I originally thought it would be most time-efficient to attempt a port of the Rubric engine. Upon further review, I believe Rubric is the poster child of all things ugly with Perl (and this coming from a long-time Perl coder!). I'd like to borrow some features from Rubric and incorporate them into the bookmark manager.
Design ideas
- Allow both user-specific and site-wide bookmark access (other than those tagged as "private")
- Allow tagging
- I'll post some screenshots of de.lirio.us here for contemplation purposes
- I've been looking at Scuttle (what a great find, thanks to Nils!), and I think I'll work with it instead. It's open source and written in PHP, so it should be much easier to integrate with Wikka than Rubric. I have it up and running, and it seems like these will be the mods necessary to have a truly integrated bookmark manager using Scuttle:
- Create an interface between Scuttle's user auth routines and Wikka's
- Create Wikka templates in place of the Scuttle standalone templates
- Use Wikka's DB connection info rather than a separate Scuttle config
- Implement as a handler or an action? Or a combination of both?
