REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)<br />
unmoderated group comp.infosystems.gemini<br />
<br />
This is a formal Request for Discussion (RFD) for the creation of the <br />
unmoderated newsgroup comp.infosystems.gemini.<br />
<br />
NEWSGROUPS LINE:<br />
<br />
comp.infosystems.gemini Internet Hypertext System, Privacy, Accessibility.<br />
<br />
CHARTER:<br />
<br />
This newsgroup covers the Gemini information space served via the Gemini <br />
internet protocol, related concepts and tools created by its community.<br />
<br />
Gemini is an internet protocol to primarily serve human readable content. <br />
Served content is not limited to text. Transfer is encrypted for privacy.<br />
<br />
Most content served by Gemini is written in Gemtext, a primitive markup <br />
language that contains a limited set of line types to semantically <br />
structure text and link to other resources. Although the protocol is <br />
content type agnostic, Gemtext is prevalent in the known information <br />
space. As Gemtext can be read without the need of complex clients (such <br />
as XHTML browsers) the published information space offers good <br />
accessibility. The Gemini protocol and Gemtext content type are not to be <br />
extended per definition and community consent.<br />
<br />
