It feels like the core of Gemini is intentionally meant to focus on readability and not writeability. I believe that that is a useful, but incomplete focus. I believe that everyone should be enabled to write as well as read... to produce as well as consume. That's why this server, and the Mansfield client support a non-standard status code. 12.
The 12 status code is similar to 11, but removes the length restriction.
In addition to supporting writeability, I believe that account creation barriers should be lowered as well. This server supports account creation based only on the client certificate. There's obviously some concerns with the approach of using only client certs as an identity, but for now, it's probably good enough.
It's been a while since I've had my mind in all this, so there's likely something I'm getting wrong or something I'm unintentionally misrepresenting... but... given the general idea of those two additions to the standard Gemini, I feel everyone has the opportunity to contribute, and *that* feels complete.
