Start here is not meant to be a different name for galeon myportal. It's
just an introduction page (right now it suck, need to be actually
written). We planned to do it in galeon too and have it as homepage but
we never got to it.
If someone is bored, I'd happily accept some contributions :)

I'm not sure what you mean with "work". If there are bugs, I'm not aware
of it and I'd be happy to fix them if reported :) 
If you find the keywords stuff bad, well, we have a worst problem.

A typical usage path of the system is:

www.gnome.org, File->Add Bookmark, Keywords = Linux Tech
slashdot.org, File->Add Bookmark, Keywords = Tech News
www.linuxtoday.com, File->Add Bookmark, Keywords = Linux News

Now you will be able to access all Linux related sites, tech sites and
News sites clicking on the list in the editor or typing it in the
location entry. Most used sites will be in the Go menu.
In practice keywords are sort of virtual folders, that's why there is
not the ability to add real folders.
