Hello Jason,

I would and could use it as I used usenet in the distant past. A usenetgroup might also be more in the same spirit of the Gemini protocol then ane-mail list? What do you think?But I wonder, what is the added value compared to reading a mailing list?One answer is that my mailbox doesn't get full with group messages ande-mail is more for one on one communication or to receiv one waycentralized updates and usenet is ideally suited for group discussion. Thatand usenet has moderation features (perhaps this mailing-list has as well).Perhaps a mirror gateway can be set up.

Kind regards,Francis Siefken

Hi all,

If anyone is interested, I can start putting together a proposal for a

Gemini Usenet newsgroup. comp.infosystems.gopher is still around and

active. A new comp.infosystems.gemini could be created in the classic

Usenet Big-8 hierarchies but we need people who are willing to say that

they would use it before it could be created.

Full disclosure: I am a member of the Usenet Big-8 Management Board

which creates and manages the Big-8 Usenet Hierarchies. see:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_8_(Usenet) and https://big-8.org and

we are looking to create groups for people who want to use Usenet. We're

not for profit and we don't make any money except enough to coverexpenses.
