First I'm wondering how you handle changes that are made on the del.icio.us side? (Epilicious is a two-way synch, designed more for sharing bookmarks between systems than for pushing bookmarks to del.icio.us.) Another thing, it's been my intention all along to add support for multiple del.icio.us accounts at the same time. I don't see any problems with that using signals. >Most of the work is in Epiphany itself, in adding a bookmark-changed >and bookmark-added signal.

I kind of like the idea, especially for pushing bookmarks to del.icio.us (or similar service). For synching it'd require slightly more work in epiphany (listening for a delete signal) and in the sharing app (regular polling I guess is the straight forward way to deal with changes made on the remote side). I'm also not entirely convinced that automatic synching is a good way to go as long as the security of del.icio.us is so lax. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus therning org http://therning.org/magnus Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
