As a heavy Gnus user, anything that can be done to improve Gnus sounds
great. In particular, either improving existing backends, or creating
new ones. Backends are basically modules that allows messages from
various protocols, such as e-mail messages and RSS/Atom feeds, to show
up as articles in Gnus.

Something that would be very useful to me would be a backend that
allowed subscribing to gemfeeds and/or Atom feeds over the gemini
protocol. There are some hackish tricks to do this using nndoc or
similar, but it would be great to have a simple to use backend that was
actually designed specifically for this.

I hear also about something called hAtom and Web Slices, which are
apparently very popular, and a backend for that sounds interesting.
