I (almost accidentally!) started designing a new lightweight,
text-centric internet protocol heavily inspired by Gopher in a series
of posts in my phlog. Many more people proved to be much more
interested in this than I expected, and so the project - now known as
Project Gemini - eventually moved to a separate parallel phlog and
then to its own server.
Nowadays the official place to get up-to-date information on the
project is at:
(accessible not just via gopher but also HTTPS and, naturally, Gemini
itself!)
There you'll find plenty of links into the Gemini community, including
the mailing list where most discussion/development now happens.
Below you will find, maintained for posterity, all the posts from that
"parallel phlog" of the early days where things developed at a
lightning pace, along with links to the posts in my regular phlog
which started the whole mess. They're probably not the quickest or
easiest way to get acquainted with Gemini from scratch, but once
you've got your bearings, if you're really interested this is a great
way to get some insight into what drove some of the major design
decisions.
