[SoaS] Proposed New Feature: Features/Revised Browse default-bookmarks.html

[Thomas C Gilliard]

Peter;

I will do edits.

I will also work on a preliminary list of links for this proposed start 
page for browse.

* All suggestions welcome for the contents.....

* Will post to the list for more comments when I have a first prototype,

Thanks;
