Hi, someone I was talking to found https://www.protocolgemini.com/ Which seems to be unrelated to (our) Gemini protocol. The main thing is it saying: > Gemini is a speed-oriented client / server file transfer protocol. In a sense, it is a replacement for the WWW Which threw them off, one message from them: > gemini, the replacement for http, was created as kind of a "hard reset" for the mess that is the modern web. I'm also skeptical -Oliver
