there's a bit of a naming collision when trying to discuss it with the

I think for the most part people say Gemini protocol if they need todisambiguate the protocol from the rocket from the Zodiac sign.

I don't think there's a name collision there unless there's another Geminiprotocol out there somewhere, but if there is we appear to have kicked its assbecause a Google search for Gemini protocol brings me to all the right stuff(which feels like a miracle -- this project has come so far in these two shortyears) which still isn't the case when you're looking for Go documentation, soI think we're probably fine.
