<br>
For example, the Python Web development community has many unfortunate blogs which are not made in Python. This has lead to some interesting arguments online about how some Python Web developers are hypocrites. I personally made a custom blogging platform when I launched PythonDiary.Com to avoid this criticism...<br>
<br>
So <a href="http://gopherplus.org:80" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">gopherplus.org:80</a> should a fancy gopher2web proxy of <a href="http://gopherplus.org:70" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">gopherplus.org:70</a> to easily showcase the gopher protocol. So RSS feeds should be either fed in via a cron script, or dynamically using a mole.<br>
<br>
Personally I'd like to see a tree view of all of <a href="http://gopherplus.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">gopherplus.org</a>, much like that Java gopher client is being built. It would be interesting for people who may have never seen gopher before understand the fundamental advantage of gopher menus.<br>

Subject:[gopher] Gopherplus.org management<br>
<br>
Many thanks for your offerings of hosting <a href="http://gopherplus.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">gopherplus.org</a>! However it not a<br>
technical support I am requesting: I can host this Internet site on my own<br>
home server (both for 70 and 80) like I do it for my domain <a href="http://oceamer.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">oceamer.com</a>.<br>
Today, <a href="http://gopherplus.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">gopherplus.org</a> is hosted on a commercial web site provider that<br>
already mirror my home server under the domain <a href="http://oceamer.fr" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">oceamer.fr</a>. (yes, only on<br>
port 80!) for a cheep price. This is to prevent power or ADSL outage since I<br>
moved last year from a big city into a small village.<br>
<br>
My idea for <a href="http://gopherplus.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">gopherplus.org</a> is to do something like these planet websites<br>
using RSS/ATOM feeds to aggregate posts from several personal weblogs. I am<br>
looking for somebody fluent in English to receive voluntary posts from<br>
Gopher users, edit these texts (mistakes, typos…) and moderate them if<br>
necessary. An other difficulty is about clock time: we are all living all<br>
around the planet, we need some rest, so this task can’t be distributed<br>
among several editors living in different time zones.<br>
<br>
As the goal of this new Internet site is to inform on a large scale people<br>
about Gopher, it is absolutely necessary to be on the port 80; it is<br>
necessary too to have a Gopher version of that website as a proof of<br>
concept. More, I think it is important that the port 80 version of this site<br>
should look like any mainstream websites. (Using graphical chart like those<br>
websites owned by geeks or activists could ruin our credibility!)<br>
<br>
Today, <a href="http://gopherplus.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">gopherplus.org</a> is a simple static website powered by a soft I wrote.<br>
My blog engine is a replacement of Nanoblogger blog engine wrote in Bash. I<br>
did, in the a past, a converter (nb2gopher) to provide Gopher menus<br>
(translating HTML posts into plain text using the “dump” option of Lynx)<br>
from Nanoblogger. For the present time, I am rewriting fBlog because Fortran<br>
programming is in strong progress. I plan, in the future, to have fBlog<br>
playing 70 port. This is a huge task because I want to code everything by<br>
myself even for Markdown support. In fact, I don’t have choice according<br>
there not libraries available for Fortran outside intensive computing. But<br>
for the person accepting to steer <a href="http://gopherplus.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">gopherplus.org</a>, the choice of the software<br>
is up to him!<br>
<br>
There is no urgency, I am waiting for any offer posted to my mail box for a<br>
while.<br>
<br>
I am also writing an introduction what about what Gopher is that I will<br>
publish on this site. Soon, I will ask you to verify this text!<br>
