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?
