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 Bookmakrs
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).
