Hi folks,
Sorry, I have ended up being rather overwhelmed at work toward the end
of the year and my personal projects, including Gemini, have taken a
backseat. Just wanted to provide some reassurance that I haven't
disappeared into the aether again and I still hope to make some more
spec updates before the end of the year.
Cheers,
Solderpunk

Hello Solderpunk,
good to hear you are still alive!
Sorry, I have ended up being rather overwhelmed at work ...
This happens. And honestly, this is much better than being sick
or worse.
Cheers,
~ew

Mind you I think some changes could be worth considering, but other
than any security related updates I'm... unsure what would be useful
from a public facing perspective. if anyone more technical than me has
anything to say about server side?
For now perhaps best to wait see what the community does (while still
keeping an active part of the community) and weigh in (or not) on any
proposed community standards, like one i'd seen to have formatting
marks for bold, italic, etc... which I am against in spite of my
background writing fiction.
I just have many vivid memories of the 90's browser wars and microsoft
'encouraging' adopting of their specific additions and nonstandard
components to HTML.

Thanks very much for these kind words. Honestly, it's always great to
hear from people (perhaps the silent majority?) in the community who
aren't desperate for change.

AFAIK the protocol and format are considered feature-complete, the only changes now are clarification, edge-cases and other minor things.
Formatting has always been out of the question, as Gemtext is a line-based format.
Personally I'd like a horizontal rule, but if we added everyone's desires we'd just be back at the Web.

Use an asterism (⁂) or dinkus (***).
