Introducing: gopherpedia: everything you expect from wikipedia, provided in plain text over the gopher protocol. The developer, Colin Mitchell of MuffinLabs, announced the project last yere, here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.gopher.general/4628 At http://muffinlabs.com/2013/06/14/gopherpedia---the-free-encyclopedia-via-gopher/ he writes: "14 June 2013 My last release for Project Dump week is Gopherpedia -- a mirror of Wikipedia in gopherspace. If you happen to have a gopher client, you can see it at gopherpedia.com on port 70. Otherwise, you can browse to gopherpedia.com and view it via a web proxy. A couple of years ago, I landed on the idea of a gopher interface to Wikipedia. Originally it was probably a joke, but it stuck with me. So one day I registered a domain name and got to work. The first thing I needed to do was build a gopher server, because none of the currently available options were up to the task. So I built Gopher2000. Then, I quickly realized that the current gopher proxies weren't any good either, so I built GoPHPer. Once both of those were written (well over a year ago), it didn't seem like there was much left to be done -- gopherpedia should've been ready to launch. But I hadn't reckoned on the challenges of churning through a database dump of Wikipedia..." It's an interesting read and an interesting project. I've used it a couple times since then (the Lynx browser still speaks the gopher protocol). At a minimum, it provides for easy wikipedia searching from the command line without need to pull up a GUI browser, if you're into that sort of thing.

Firewall issue? % lynx gopher://gopherpedia.com Comes right up. Faster than Wikipedia too, I might add. I don't know of any other clients other than lynx. Even the "links" or w3m browser doesn't speak gopher anymore.

I had only heard of the gopher protocol before, but never played around with it. I think this is really useful. With gopherfs, you can actually mount a gopher server as a FUSE resource! How awesome is that?

There isn't a good website for it, and it isn't in the gentoo package tree. But I imagine it would work like sshfs does. I can say: #v+ sshfs server.example.com:/home/randy/files /mnt/files #v- And it's mounted as if it were local. It's really handy for situations where you have (for example) a raspberry pi taped to your stereo system running MPD, and the music files stored on your server in the next room :) http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html Doing this with gopherpedia would be cool. You could perhaps have /mnt/gopherpedia mounted, and have your own scripts browse it and do whatever you like. > Just thought of an additional benefit: Google doesn't index gopher > sites, considering them dead. Might be good for a little personal > repository of something. Just thinking outloud, here. Interesting, I didn't realize that. From what I've seen so far, gopher seems like it's worth keeping alive.
