In a discussion with Peter Robinson last night' on #sugar-meeting,I learned that a custom Browse bookmark can be downloaded from the fedora repository. I propose to use this "Feature" to allow a custom set of bookmarks to be maintained that would have a series of links ie: e-books; Floss Manuals; wiki.sugarlabs.org, (maybe all of the proposed links to files in the SugarCreationKit DVD)+ a link to The Normal Browse Google Screen
   * This should be a simple edit in Browse to point to
     file:///usr/share/bookmarks/default-bookmarks.html instead of
     file:///usr/share/sugar/activities/Browse.activity/data/index.html.

   * Repointing the default-screen allows us to have fedora supply our
     revised "Start New" screen ( or maybe several depending on the
     deployment or schools requirements to Soas v4)


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

   * In this case: the Browse.xo on ASLO would also need to be changed
     as installed activities seem to be stored in a different location
     than .xo files -(I think)
