Summary
Allow an option, governed by a role, that when creating a bookmark it can be made "for corp" and thereby accessible by all members of a corporation.
-----
Introduction
Over the past few months, CCP has been implementing a number of welcome changes which improve in-game corp communication. However, there is one area which, to this point, has not received much attention despite being an item used everyday. This item is bookmarks.
The Problem
Whenever a bookmark is created, it is limited to the creator of that bookmark unless transferred to someone else. While this is generally not a problem for a small group of players, when this expands to a corporate level, it's a nightmare. For example, on any given day in my WH Based corporation, we can have between 4 and 40 bookmarks that must be distributed amongst all members. The click and drag process falls flat here as bookmarks can only be returned 5 at a time, and human error means that bookmarks occasionally get missed, something that can be catastrophic to any operation. This also means, because every player must do this separately, a great strain on the EVE servers, as it is repeated amongst every corporation operating in a similar manner.
In more known space based corps, the main use of bookmarks seems to be tactical ones. This presents an issue, as all new members must individually make there own bookmarks or go through a similar process to wormholes of transferring the bookmarks to their People and Places, then moving them back for the next new recruit.
If bookmarks are to be transferred via copies, this relies fairly heavily on the owner of those bookmarks getting somewhere to hand them out. This can be prevented by disconnects, crashes, other players or real life, and can be extremely detrimental to the corp operations.
The Solution
The easiest way to fix this is to create an option for bookmarking that allows it to be accessed by all corporation members. A folder, like the default "agents" folder, titled "corporation bookmarks" would be added to People and Places. Bookmarks could either be dragged here or, when created, a checkbox "make available for corp" would be checked and accomplish the same thing. To avoid abuse, both access to and creation of said bookmarks would be governed by a role.
Benefits
- No more handing out bookmarks individually
- Every corp member has the same set of bookmarks
- Less server load due to not having to load a hangar full of bookmarks
- Streamlining of corp operations
Conclusion
This is a simple and easy fix to an issue that's plagued EVE since players decided they wanted to coordinate their movements to things not immediately right-clickable.

Most definitely.
I included this in my list of top problems with wormhole life. Would make a huge positive difference in the day to day life of all wormhole dwellers

hmm.. i am pretty sure CCP stated that living in wormholes wasn't actually what they had in mind, so seing this happen is hard for me
But i support it to the fullest!

If you have spai's they have access to the bookmarks that are shared to the corp already. Be it via a hanger or a can.
If my pod is capable of transfering my consiousness hundreds of lightyears in the instant before it explodes, why then can my ship not transmit spatial coordinates to other ships
Let's not forget to bring up the lag that is generated when copying bookmarks, or when opening a container that has bookmarks inside it.
And who in their right mind would limit the number of bookmarks that can be copied at one time to five.

I approve of this change. I think its a good first step in fixing some of the issues that the current bookmark system has.
Wit has truth in it; wisecracking is simply calisthenics with words.

CCP already did it with Corp Fittings, why not do it with BMs.
Not only people in WHs use bm's, everyone does.
Do it like the fittings setup, limit the numbers of bookmarks a corp can have at any given time, if its necessarie.
... but please do it
