[Tech] (?) Let's update the website

1. Björn Wärmedal (bjorn.warmedal (a) gmail.com)

A lot of information on the website is out of date. Broken links, and
links to GUS (which is obviously stale since a few months back), etc.

I know there's a git repo somewhere with the source for
gemini.circumlunar.space, but where? Who approves PRs to it?

Would be nice if we could make a concerted effort to update stuff there.

Cheers,

See section 4.2 of the FAQ <gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/faq.gmi>

tl;dr: git://gemini.circumlunar.space/gemini-site, Solderpunk approves 
patches via email (not public)

A problem that I had raised to Solderpunk before multiple times is that 
the specification and everything else in the repository is not licensed, 
which is at least a grey area in this case. As more translations are 
accepted into the repo this would become more problematic since all 
authors would have to agree to license their contributions under the chosen license.

Other than that, it feels a bit asserting to do this, but I think it should be done.

Since Solderpunk lives a mostly-offline existence these days we may
need a better method for this :D

Oh! I didn't even consider the license issue... That'd be great to
sort out first.

There's also this, which I reckon is quite serious:

"The certificate for gemini.circumlunar.space expired on 3/29/2021."

Indeed. Imagine people hearing about Gemini, looking at the Web site
and finding this.

It has been reported in private to Solderpunk, by me and certainly
other persons. I fear that we must acknowledge he is not available and
do something by ourselves.
