Federated Wiki and Gemini are more similar than I realized

It occurred to me when writing gemfedwiki that Ward's federated wiki and gemini are very similar protocol-wise, in the sense of interlinked documents with a shared protocol.

This is probably why it was so easy to bridge fedwiki and gemini

A few observations:

Not sure what to make of these observations for now, perhaps there is something we can learn from this, or not. What would the world look like with hundreds of simple protocols that interoperate? Perhaps via interoperability we can benefit from the network effects of otherwise disjoint communities with slightly different goals. Something to think about...
