ratfactor has been writing on the age-old topic of updating the | |
gopher protocol. [0][1] Many others have covered off on this stuff | |
recently, like solderpunk. | |
[0] Gopher 2.0 Pros 'n' Cons | |
[1] Gopher 2.0 - The protocol | |
At this point I think my 2-cents are that these folks should be | |
aiming at a new protocol, not an update to gopher. Call it | |
something else, give it a new port, define it with an RFC all | |
you'd like. Let it be similar or not. Just leave gopher alone. | |
We can plug things in creatively to get gopher over TLS and tor | |
already in its current state. New stuff is cool, but just call it | |
something else. |
