It was partly conceived out of good bookmarking and collaborative bookmark indexing. +You can read what Bookie is here, but here's the +long and short of it: -
+Bookie is an application which keeps all your bookmarks on a +central server so that you can access bookmarks from anywhere on the web. +-The server is written in Java which sends bookmark information over a -protocol to the client. The server is written and can get bookmarks and -folders to the client in RDF format. +
I have a server which is currently using XML-RPC and implements three commands:
+getRoot
, getNode
and getChildren
. It
+returns RDF data in the same
+format that Mozilla itself internally for bookmarks. This is all I need to
+iterate through a tree.
-
+A snapshot of the server (and a java client) is here. Both the client and the server are fully functional. (Note that you will need a database and JDBC driver before you start the server, but the SQL scripts are included). +-
An integration to Mozilla is halfway done. +
The Mozilla client is still very rudimentary, but it does pick up XML-RPC +queries and display the RDF in a little window. If you enjoy pain or would +like to help, then you can pick up the code from here. +Thanks to Aaron Andersen for the cool tutorial. + +
Suggestions and comments are welcome. + +

There is also a debugging client written in Swing.
