I am building a site for a small (<400 users) community, and want to add a "links" block for them, and also to allow them to add their own links or delete the default links. This project is very clean and nice, but I can't find a way to prepopulate the bookmark list for every user with default bookmarks.

I like the idea and had even considered it. The caveat that I always ran into was that people want a default set that can't be deleted which is really just a menu.

I'll look into this as soon as I have some free time.

Please note: There is no active new development on the D5 version.

Thanks for the fast answer,
the site I am building (http://kohlrabi.hfg-karlsruhe.de/) is for my university, which has a lot of different study fields and subsequently a lot of external subpages. And as I don't want to force users to look at 15-20 links to this subpages, half of which they never visit, I would like to give them the possibility to delete unwanted links and add their own links to other sites that have value for them. Bookmarks is a perfect module for that except for the missing comfort of having predefined links.
Of course I would be glad if such feature would show up in the D6 version.

6.x-1.5 permits default links. Basically, once installed you'll need to setup the default links before turning on the block. Once the block is active, any user who logs in from that point forward who does not have a bookmarks menu defined will be given a pre-populated menu.

Wow, this is great, thanks!
However I tried it out, and it looks like there is a bug - adding a link to the default preset doesn't work. To be precise: it works, but there is no path field, instead it seems to add itself, I mean to add the "Add item" link to the bookmarks.
