I made a CGI converter about a year ago before the GMI feed spec became a thing:

https://github.com/LukeEmmet/GMIToAtomFeed

The idea is that you write a GMI feed on your server and then the script 
serves live Atom XML.

The design is quite simple, but in Rebol, which is not everyone's day to 
day language. It runs off the same server as the Atom feed is fed from, so 
it doesnt have the added feature of retrieving an arbitrary 3rd party GMI feed.

Works for me, but I'm glad the GMI feed spec became a companion spec, as 
that is much more Gemini-native.
