I've promoted Gemini to some blind people by adding the Elaho client to theApplevis app directory:

https://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/utilities/elaho

And I plan on talking about it more on Twitter, where most blind peopleare, and other places. I think Gemini can be a great, simple, content-richplace for blind people.Devin Praterr.d.t.prater at gmail.com

This seems like a great place to collaboratively add frequently asked

questions (and some answers) as well as maybe tutorials in sub pages.

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.)
