the stagnation of the gitlab repo has somehow proven that, after
all, gemini is quite finished. Yes, we have some doubts on how to
handle some edge cases, but globally the community has more or less
settled on how things should be and that's that.)
I disagree with this assessment. The specification is still in poorshape, many cases are not documented, there is no agreement on veryimportant things like TLS close notify or IDN and, even when there is,it is not documented so newcomers cannot get it, they have to rely onthe hidden knowledge of some old timers. Hardly satisfying.
(Not documenting thing is a common way to keep power.)
