Hello, I have an idea for quickly and vastly expanding the amount of content that is available in Geminispace. What about a Wikipedia mirror/proxy? I put proxy in quotes because it would modify the documents it returned in order to be largely text based. The main thing that's tripping <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychedelic_experience> me up is the fact that wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org> articles are written <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writing> with a lot of inline links. And navigating those links is a key part of the Wikipedia browsing experience. My naive read of the text/gemini format is that I would have to do something like: The main thing that's => gemini://gem.wiki-mirror.pizza/article.cgi?Tripping tripping me up is the fact that => gemini://gem.wiki-mirror.pizza/article.cgi?Wikipedia wikipedia articles are => gemini://gem.wiki-mirror.pizza/article.cgi?Writing written with a lot of inline links. Which seems really clunky. The other option I'm considering is serving text/markdown, which I assume most Gemini clients would display as plain text. The problem then is that [links won't be clickable](http://dev/null). But maybe the mere existence of so much markdown content would incentivize some client author to add native support? Feedback is appreciated, thanks! -Travis -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
