Hey!
* is the concept still "alive"? is the document still "open forcomments"?
I think Mercury was just a thought experiment, but it sounds like we canspec that out to be fully usable (specify port and such)
* are there Gemininauts interested in Mercury?Yeah, definitly. It sounds like the perfect match for embedded devices,as it requires no encryption and no complex state machines.
* are there clients and servers targeting both Gemini and Mercury?
(i.e. the Gemini concept with and without TLS)Probably in some hours? I'm really tempted to implement a mercury://into Kristall and provide people a client they can use :)
* has a solution been proposed for the two protocols coexistence?
(e.g. port 1965 for Gemini and 1963 for Mercury (the year of the last
Mercury flight :-)
I am sorry if it has already been hashed and rehashed. And thanks in
advance for your answers about any of the points aboveTo my knowledge we haven't had a discussion about Mercury yet and it'ssimple enough to "just be used"
