Gemini: the new lightweight internet
Project Gemini
Takes the middle ground between Gopher and HTTP/HTML. Certainly a lot nicer than all these top-heavy, overloaded graphical abominations that are collectively known as Web 2.0.
Gemini is a new, collaboratively designed internet protocol, which explores the space inbetween gopher and the web, striving to address (perceived) limitations of one while avoiding the (undeniable) pitfalls of the other.
