I believe the best way to grow the Gemini ecosystem is to launch a concerted effort to get Gemini support built into the tools of bloggers. This is something I'd been thinking about for awhile, before discovering Gemini that filled a large part in my desire to reclaim the internet from advertising and the corporate browser problem.

If we can make producing Gemini content a default choice alongside html, I believe most amateur writers would be totally happy with a secondary channel.

So as a community, what do you think about a campaign to:

1. Work with static site generators to get Gemini support built. At the least as supported plugins, then as part of the default distribution. md2gemini is key here

2. Get feed readers to support gemini, starting with open source ones.

And this is the hardest but is aided by the previous two:3. Get CMS/blog hosts to support gemini; I'm thinking smaller players first but building up to WordPress, medium, etc...

Cheers,Case
