What should I do for Geminiworld?

Gemini work is nowhere near top priority for me because it's not a
responsibility, but I'd like to pay the community back a bit and these are
the ideas that come to mind:

1) Write (and possibly host) a Project Gutenberg server that will allow you
to search PG's plain-text etexts and serve them up.  This would provide
large amounts of (admittedly non-unique) content in Geminispace.  I've done
some preliminary work on this.

2) Write (and not host) a server front-end that provides cert-controlled
access to a capsule or portions thereof.  Currently I think only Molly
Brown supports this facility, but this facility would allow someone wanting
to provide such private support to run any Gemini server as long as it was
not directly accessible from the Internet and then aim the front end at
it.  I have a good idea how this would work, but haven't done any
preliminary work yet.

Preferences, suggested project names, comments?
