No
Brad,
I would like to suggest adding some sort of bookmark
manager or link manager (unless you can suggest one).
This is what I invision. Being able to add web
bookmarks (or links) to external articles and locations of
other code snippets.
For example if I find a nice article on phpbuilder, or a
nice discussion in a forum, it would be nice to be able to
enter the URL and provide a short description which can
be searched. This way I would not have to cut and
paste the contents of such articles etc into my
database.

I'm not sure a bookmark manager would fall within the scope
of this project, unless I am misunderstanding you. There
are already many bookmark managers out there with refined
functionality, so you may want to look into some of those.
You might also look on freshmeat.net for bookmark packages.
I don't use any personally, so I cannot recommend one over
another.

I guess it all depends on how you use the product. I am
using it as more of a developer tool. Besides having code on
hand, it would just be nice to be able to have the option to
add a category which is just links, so I can keep track of
developer ezines, or great developer tutorials/articles stored
on other sites.
I have an idea, I could basically create links using the current
design (thought it might require a little more typing in on the
front end) if as a site configuration option, you allowed HTML
code in a Code snippets description. I would type in Snippet
Name, then type in the snippets description which would be
the html code to create a hyperlink.
That would be sufficient enough for me.
do the same thing
I could create my own links A version of this could easily be
added by doing one of the following:

Actually, you can specify specific html tags to allow in the
description and comment fields in version 0.5, so you should
be able to enter bookmarks in the manner you described.
Regardless, I see your point. Let me kick the idea around a
bit and see what I can come up with for the next release.
