A good way to make geminispace great is to adapt marvelous web site to gemini browsing.

This has actually been a contentious idea, historically. I don't thinkanybody is *opposed* to people doing this (although obviously peopleshould take care regarding copyright), but there is a strong argument tobe made, and many have made it, that if we want to attract people intoGeminispace it's important that they can find good content there thatthey *can't* find on the web.

There is, of course, room for both approaches, and making good,openly-licensed content like Wikipedia, Projet Gutenberg, etc. availablein Geminispace would be great, as per the compelling arguments made atthe recently shared list of web mirrors.
