Are there efforts underway to standardize Gemini via IETF RFC?
If there is, it's flying way under the radar.
Gemini the protocol and gemtext the file format are currently in a single
specification. Furthermore, the specification is a bit blurry around the edges
as Stephane Bortzmeyer pointed out a while ago. I've read various opinions
regarding TOFU and certificate change/renewal.. Embarking on the route to RFC
could improve the specification without changing its simplicity.
What's the sentiment regarding a clearer specification?
If my experience in Gemini is anything to go by, it's not going to happen.
Solderpunk has basically disappeared, and his appointed assistant resigned
after a few months. I'm not saying the project is dead, but further
clarifications of the protocol and text format probably is.
