Womcat Bookmarks
Womcat Bookmarks is a program that maintains Web bookmarks in a set of hierarchical folders. It can output the bookmarks as an HTML page and as an RSS 2.0 file that can be placed on a Web site. The RSS file maps folder names into the "category" element. It can download other RSS files, treating them as categorized bookmarks to create a local database of Web bookmarks that can be browsed by subject. It supports RSS discovery by allowing posting RSS file URLs as new items. It also acts as a basic RSS feed reader. It also includes a Weak Subscriptions feature, which is a bit like a personalized version of BlogDex.

Changes: Hibernate 2.0.3 is now used. Some additional table indexes were defined, solving some performance problems. The parsing of RSS elements is now independent of XML namespaces, making it more forgiving.
- 25 Oct 2003 00:35
Changes: The interface was fine-tuned for weak subscriptions. Most recently mentioned URLs are now displayed first. Dtail logging was disabled, speeding things up somewhat. The interface for the "Recommend" bookmarklet now allows the creation of a new subject all in the same page. After clicking on URLs, their CSS class is changed to make it possible to see what you have already viewed without refreshing the page.
