Gopher 2007 Pearl Project

Do you like adventures?
Do you like to discover?
Many treasures are awaiting you!
Get ready to search for the pearls:

       gophers://bitreich.org/1/gopher2007

The archive of gopherspace from 2007 from archive.org is now available on
Bitreich for research.


The pearl list begins with - of course! - the gopher manifesto:

gopher://bitreich.org/0/gopher2007/2007-gopher-mirror/gopher-arch/gopher/seanm.ca/70/0/nerd/gopher-manifesto.txt

See the 'What we need' section. We completed nearly all points there. :-D


A second pearl example:

gopher://bitreich.org/0/gopher2007/2007-gopher-mirror/gopher-arch/gopher/seanm.ca/70/0/nerd/language_parable.txt

       And each language could be heard to mumble as it tromped and
       tromped
       and tromped, with complete and utter glee:

           Have to parse XML, eh? Have to have an XML API, eh? Have to
           work
           with SOAP and XML-RPC and RSS and RDF, eh?

       Well parse this, you little markup asshole.


I wish much fun reading and discovering even more!

If you find a pearl, please send the full link and why it should be
considered a pearl to:
