I understand that this is a very young protocol, but I wanted to post

this question anyway. Do you think Gemini will ever become a

standard?

There are vague plans to submit Gemini to the IETF and get a RFC. Asof now, it seems a very distant project. In the mean time, there iswork going on to get a proper specification, you can follow it at<https://gitlab.com/gemini-specification/>.

Even if not a standard published by a big organization like the ISO,

ECMA, IETF or IEEE,

I certainly hope that closed organisations like ISO or IEEE won't beused.
