Add Haiku specifc default bookmark in BeZilla Browser

[scottmc]

Some links to add might be haiku-os.org, ports.haiku-files.org, osdrawer.net, bebits.com etc.

Similar discussion came up when talking about adding links in the Haiku User Guide - problem is, maintaining those links, updating them to be relevant, etc. is impractical.

It would be better to point the user to a page containing all the relevant links they might be interested in, and they can add bookmarks accordingly.

I would recommend a bookmark to  http://www.haiku-os.org and perhaps  http://www.haiku-os.org/community/ where all further links could be maintained.

initial creation of a defaults bookmarks.html file. This includes :

BeZilla Browser-->
  -BeZilla Blog
  -Report an Issue
  -View Known Issues
Software for Haiku-->
  -OSDrawer.net
  -HaikuWare
  -Zeta-Games  
  -BeBits

I haven't tested applying these changes to the build system. So for now, the bookmarks.html file needs to be copied into BeZillaBrowser?/defaults/profiles before a distribution archive is created.

Eventually, I would like to set  http://www.haiku-os.org/community as the initial start page.

As a side note, there are a few issues I want to hammer out before rolling out a new archive.

also, "Report an Issue" directs to ports.haiku-files.org, i couldn't link directly to /newticket, as the user needs to be logged in.

"View Known Issues" is a custom query for component: www-client/mozilla-firefox

Default bookmarks now include :

BeZilla Browser-->
  -BeZilla Blog
  -Report an Issue
  -View Known Issues
Haiku Bookmarks-->
  -Nightly Builds
  -Optional Packages
  -Bug Tracker
Software for Haiku-->
  -OSDrawer.net
  -HaikuWare
  -Zeta-Games  
  -BeBits
-Haiku Website

note: Haiku Website is a top-level link.

It is not my intent for the default bookmarks to include every possible Haiku-related website. But rather a bare minimum amount of links to jump start new users.

closing ticket.
