[users] Announcing Gemini Quickstart!

- Jason McBrayer <jmcbray at carcosa.net>

Hello, all. In conversations with friends where I've been trying to

spread the good news of Gemini, I've gotten the feedback that there

aren't really any easy-to-find Gemini resources for non-technical

beginners; people who may not have experience with Gopher or any other

non-WWW protocols, or who can't compile a client from source, for

example. I decided to meet this issue by writing one.

It starts on the web at https://geminiquickst.art/, and continues on

Gemini at gemini://geminiquickst.art/. It recommends a Gemini client for

new users based on their operating system, tells them where to download

it, and gives them some starts on finding things to read that are

relevant to their interests. There's also a section on publishing things

on Gemini.

I'd appreciate people sharing it wherever they share links, and to keep

it in mind for when anyone asks for such a guide. I welcome feedback,

and I would love to add translations.
