   I'd like to see it. Could you publish it somewhere and announce the URL?

   The reason I'm interested is that I wrote - and still write and debug -
a project named "Bookmarks database and Internet robot" exactly for this
purpose: to test my bookmarks.
   Would you like to cooperate on this? I have a framework for plugins, and
there are database plugins and robot (URL checker) plugins. I have plans
for next major version where there will be much larger database (stored,
for example, using Oedipus) and much better robots.
   Currently I have simple robot and forking robot; I want to write
threaded robot and asyncore-based robot, but I am short on time :)
   Detailed announce follows:

                    BOOKMARKS database and internet robot

WHAT IS IT
   Here is a set of classes, libraries, programs and plugins I use to
manipulate my bookmarks.html. I like Netscape Navigator, but I need more
features, so I write and maintain these programs for my needs. I need to
extend Navigator's "What's new" feature (Navigator 4 named it "Update
bookmarks").


WHAT'S NEW in version 3.0
   Complete rewrite from scratch. Created mechanism for pluggable storage
managers, writers and robots.


WHAT'S NEW in version 3.1.2
   Minor speed improvements in parser (just removed debug output if not in
debug mode).
   New program check_dups.py prints a list of duplcat URLs in the DB.
