Additional sources

edit

This article has one source (the gemini homepage), but there are lots of available sources. Using Wikipedia's suggested search of "Gemini" protocol -Wikipedia, I turned up: https://www.susa.net/wordpress/2020/06/gemini-protocol-markup/, https://www.gkbrk.com/wiki/Gemini/, https://samsai.eu/post/introduction-to-gemini/, and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23042424. Also, looking at Gopher's article as an example, you can cite links to the project pages/repos when necessary in the "Notes" section in Draft:Gemini_(protocol)#Browsers. I could add the things I linked here if everyone wants. --Nytpu (talk) 15:55, 23 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Go ahead, @Nytpu. I did a similar search and already added the susa.net article as a reference. --Azertus (talk) 22:52, 10 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
That samsai.eu post is interesting for its mention of small internet. Depending on how many sources can be found covering this term/subject, it may warrant its own article at Small internet. --Azertus (talk) 23:21, 10 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Client list

edit

The list of clients includes columns for first and last supported version. Those columns only make sense in the context of the article they were taken from (the Gopher (protocol) article). There they indicate when "web" browsers started/stopped supporting gopher as a protocol and reflect the shift to the web from gopher. Since all clients so far are dedicated gemini browsers, there is no need for the columns. We could repurpose the columns to list the latest version and release dates of the clients, since those are unlikely to ever get articles. --Azertus (talk) 22:52, 10 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Moving to Gemini space

edit

Suggestion to change the lemma to Gemini space to broaden the scope of the article to: Protocol, Media type, Community, Software, … --Brevity (talk) 06:25, 21 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Edited a bit and moved to article space – any good? --Brevity (talk) 14:30, 21 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

This change has conflated the protocol with the broader "space", depriving us of a link target for links about the protocol itself. Mk270 (talk) 15:04, 27 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Right, I considered the move to Gemini space a practical solution of getting the (already once deleted) protocol article out of its draft state. Personally at this time I'd preferred a #REDIRECT from Gemini protocol to Gemini space#Gemini protocol over having separate pages (at least with the protocol not being an IETF-standard). Now I'm not too sure whether the Gemini clients/browser table better belongs to the Gemini space article with covering its developing community and the diversity of clients emphasizing the efforts of the community and possible means of taking part in the community, or to the Gemini protocol article simply as a list of examples implementing parts of the protocol. I'll see what time will tell, thanks for your edits. --Brevity (talk) 16:27, 27 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, sorry. The lack of a page about the protocol itself was making it less legit to include Gemini in the categories related to protocols. There is an unrelated problem with information about Gemini, which is that it's mostly written by people who don't want to use the Web anymore, and so isn't trivially available for verification by the typical Wikipedia editor.
