Hello!

I hope you're all doing well.

I do a lot of my news and email reading in EMACS, using GNUS.

I did a little research, and I found out that GNUS supports subscribingto RSS feeds natively. I also discovered that GNUS does not reallynatively support atom feeds. In the EMACS Wiki, there are onlyinstructions to convert atom feeds into RSS with an external program.

I attempted to subscribe to a gemini atom feed inside GNUS, just toattempt to push the envelope a little, and it was not possible.

I am curious: would anyone be able to give me a little guidance abouthow I would go about modifying my GNUS so I could subscribe to geminiatom feeds?

I have been doing quite a bit of study on EMACS LISP lately, so I thinkI may be up to the task of doing this--I'm not asking for mentorship,just perhaps some insights, suggestions, or warnings that anyone mighthave.

I think the benefits of being able to access gemini space from insideGNUS would add an extra layer of dynamism to using gemini inside EMACS,and would help push forward my nefarious agenda to perfect a LISPoperating system (:

Thanks in advance,

vidak.
