Hi Phaneendra,
First of all, I'd get my compliments for your project, very detailed and 
... in "growing state". It really seems you're having a nice GSoC 
experience and this is the most important thing, after all. Isn't it?

So, let's start talk about your project. First, some "stupid" questions 
to let me clarify things (sorry, I have just too much code to read 
today. I'll probably find some time next week).
It seems to me that merging your project one day, rekonq will start 
using nepomuk, right? (ok, this is too stupid...).
Does this mean we are going to NOT work without nepomuk? Or just that 
our bookmark system wouldn't? Or, better (the aimed reply), that just 
the "rating, tagging" part is not going to work if I don't have nepomuk 
running here?
What about in term of compile/link deps?

About your first question: I don't like a lot to change our UI, because 
I'd like it to be as minimal as possible. IMHO we can adopt two 
different solutions here (or also the two together):
1) change our bookmark icon (the one in the urlbar) behavior to show 
your widget on click.
2) add an action for rating, tagging to our actionCollection, so that it 
will be optionally available to be added at the UI.
What do you think about?

About the second one: I need a bit of time to better check the new 
EditBookmark Widget to comment a bit about.

Have fun,
