* The advantage is that the Modified default-bookmarks file is updated from fedora in a normal way to Soas and is part of the build of v4

* Fedora requires a .rpm packaging

* Original Index.html is customizable.

== Contingency Plan ==

'''Alternate path: edit /usr/share/sugar/activities/Browse.activity/data/index.html. This would allow sugarlabs to maintain the list.'''

~~Nope. This will only be changed in the Browse shipped with SoaS. While~~

~~ASLO is a resource for SoaS users what resides there is a generic~~

~~resource used by many. pbrobinson~~

== Documentation ==

''Is there upstream documentation on this feature, or notes you have written yourself? Has this topic been discussed in the mailing list or during a meeting? Link to that material here so other interested developers can get involved.''

* Discussed with pbrobinson initially and mchua today 06/12/2010 on #sugar-meeting
