Assorted small notes -------------------- I previously wondered out loud what we should call "geminiholes". Sloum suggests "capsules", in keeping with the theme. I like it! "You can read about that in my Gemini capsule". If you hate it, feel perfectly free to use "Gemini site", "Gemini page", whatever. Ruby gems *do* use the .gem extension. Apparently .gmi is used by map calibration files for some proprietary bicycle GPS software. That's about 100 times more obscure than Ruby, so I think I'd be okay using it as an extension for Gemini map files. index.gmi could be analogous to index.html or index.gph. Servers could auto-generate directory listings if no index.gph is found. A small polite request: at some stage I'm going to write a fully-featured, industrial strength Gemini server, and I'd like to name it "Molly Brown" (the nickname of the Gemini 3 capsule). This won't happen for a while, and I figured in the meantime there's a non-negligible probability of somebody else wanting a cute name for something Gemini-related they're writing, hitting up Wikipedia to look for ideas and finding that. Can I please have dibs?
