I'd like to keep track of proposed clarifications to the Gemini specification, since they seem to get buried in the mailing list. So I've made a list and published them on my capsule: => gemini://adnano.co/gemini-spec-proposals/ Note that this is meant to keep track of proposed clarifications only, not new features. Let me know if I've missed anything.

And certainly others.
Hello, Please look at the 2020 thread called "[spec] Oustanding issues". Here[1] is the first message from that thread, and if you Ctrl-F for that heading on this[2] page you'll find all the messages. For example, these fixes I proposed are still needed: https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/2020/003827.html https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/2020/003911.html 1: https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/2020/004447.html 2: https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/2020/thread.html Hopefully your page and this thread will be helpful for our new BDFL, who will need to make these changes. makeworld
