The Gopher Times keeps ticking with Opus 6
gopher://bitreich.org/1/tgtimes/
With an increasing number of external contributors, The Gopher Times 6
pursue the publication of a newspaper over the Gopher protocol.
The Gopher Times affirms itself as a platform to publish you, and to you:
* Not an automated, low-effort social media system: a dedicated team to
publish your work and organise the layout.
* Not requiring complex software at any step of the chain: Troff,
GhostScript (optional, for .pdf), geomyidae (or another gopher server)
sacc (or another gopher client, including netcat or curl).
* The need to be "online" to access the web content is not a feature,
but a work around shortcomings of the web: Instead, we deliver a
full single-file text document that you can read offline.
* The plain text version is a first class citizen, unlike a wattered-down
plain text alternative to HTML email.
The Gopher Times brings a foundation for news publication where internet
barely ever reaches through.
