The author has a repository with the current version of the spec here: https://codeberg.org/oppenlab/gempub. I have a monster PR there, but there is a lot of thought still required so my ideas are (at best) tentative suggestions. The first rule of Gemini is don't extend Gemini, so most of my feedback was around firming up the boundaries of the gempub container itself, which is intended to consist primarily of text/gemini and some images. I really liked the idea that gempub containers can serve a dual purpose as a capsule archive format. Also, I'm new to this list and to Gemini (hi, everyone!), but I'm old enough to remember when we called it "the net" and not "the web". Gemini does a great job of bringing back the impossible-to-describe feel of the early 1990s internet, right after BBSs and right before Canter and Siegel did their thing and filled up my NNTP drive. :) Raph -----Original Message----- From: Gemini <gemini-bounces@lists.orbitalfox.eu> On Behalf Of Jason McBrayer Sent: Sunday, April 25, 2021 12:48 PM To: Stephane Bortzmeyer <stephane@sources.org> Cc: gemini@lists.orbitalfox.eu Subject: Re: Gempub 1.0.0 ; A new eBook format based on Gemini Protocol's Gemtext Stephane Bortzmeyer writes: > [I'm not the author, I just relay the idea.
