Wikipedia on Gemini by popular demand: gemini://wp.pitr.ca/en/Gemini_(constellation) This is not strictly a mirror, as a dump of wikipedia is quite large - https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20200520/ - but rather a proxy that makes request to wikipedia API, parses wikitext into an HTML DOM (since wikitext supports HTML tags) which is then simplified into text/gemini. This process is not perfect and there are quite a few imperfections. But before I sink more time into this, I wonder if text/gemini is indeed the best format for wikipedia articles. Pages are usually huge, with lots of links. And this is even before considerations for how best to handle images, tables, special symbols, special tags, etc. From trying to browse it myself, my first impression is that wikipedia format can't/shouldn't be simplified any further than it already is on the web.
