For Summer of Code 2009, Dan Weber will work on Camino's location bar. Stuart Morgan is his mentor. The tracker bug for the project is 495490. For Summer of Code 2009, Dan Weber will work on Camino's location bar. Stuart Morgan is his mentor. The tracker bug for the project is 495490.
Proposal
- Change Appearance
- The appearance of the Camino autocomplete drop list should be updated to make it seem more at home on Leopard (and Tiger). The bug for this is 495496.
- Include Bookmarks
- Autocomplete currently only matches against items in history. Bookmarks should be matched, too, and given a higher priority than history items (i.e. should appear higher in the list). The bug for this is 166288. However, this might get a little complicated because currently the autocomplete code is not Cocoa and the bookmark matching algorithm is going to be (Camino does bookmarks all on its own). The ideal solution would be to rewrite all of the autocomplete code in Cocoa (Bug 340611).
- Better Sorting
- Something like the Firefox frecency algorithm. This is probably extremely unrealistic, but it's not as unrealistic as the next item. If this gets good enough, maybe the powers that be will allow inline autocomplete to be turned on by default. That would be nice.
- Social Bookmarks
- This was the primary focus of my original proposal, as it is the thing that interests me most. However, it now seems almost infinitesimally likely that this will ever happen, let alone happen this summer. Still, it would be nice to make at least a little headway in this area this summer. At this point, not many details have been hammered out, but the basic idea is to allow a user's delicious.com bookmarks (and possibly others) to be searched by the autocomplete algorithm. Stuart proposed a "pluggable bookmarks" idea, which presumably would let you swap out local bookmarks for ones you have stored on Delicious or Google, etc.
