Promoting Gemini, is anyone working on outreach?

Such a project would be a great addition to the Gemini project.

The domain you propose is still available, someone would have to spend the money for the domain to register. I can do that and would be willing to hold the domain in trust. However, I don't want to build a site like this myself.

And on the other hand, who would take the time to maintain the site, respond to issues and implement changes and translations requested by the community? It'll take some time and you won't get anything for it. Except some community love of course :-).

So if you want me to shell out the $12 for the domain, I would be glad to do it.

Gemini seems to have some success

<gemini://gemini.bortzmeyer.org/software/lupa/stats.gmi> but one day

or the other, we'll have to move further and tries to promote it to

normal people. This is what is done for systems like PeerTube

<https://joinpeertube.org/> (or <https://joinfediverse.org/>, which

seems to be in french only) with a Web site explaining what it is, how

to join, etc, targeted to real people.

Now, don't get me wrong, I do not suggest to launch such a Web site

tomorrow. Gemini is not stable enough, the specification is not final,

and most Gemini programs are not yet packaged for typical operating

systems.

But creating such an "outreach" Web site takes time so may be it could

be a good idea to start working on it? (I have no special competences

on that field, I just suggest a joingemini.org could be cool.)
