Hi All,
I'm rather new to this project and I'd like to spread the word, but I feel that there's a bit of a naming collision when trying to discuss it with the outside world. Go had a similar issue, but then a convention developed with the term golang so that people could find things about it instead of the ancient board game.
What's the term that you use to describe this project and community with the outside world? I'd like to try to be consistent with whatever you've come up with already.

• "Gemini protocol" for the protocol.• "Gemtext" for the text format (text/gemini).• "Gemini space" for talking about our version of the "web", that isall the sites and stuff hosted with Gemini.
