AuraGem's Freedom of Protocols Initiative

The Freedom of Protocols Initiative desires to spread the use of new
protocols with the goals of creating an advertising-free space that
appreciates and prioritizes the user and is designed with the
power-to-weight ratio in mind - as simple as can be, as complex as is
necessary.

This initiative is not about locking people down to certain protocols,
creating a document-retrieval singularity, shoehorning everything
into a specific protocol, or protocol nationalism/supremacy. It is
about embracing the plurality of protocols and each of their unique
uses, characteristics, design goals, cultures, etc.

Part of this initiative is creating resources for each protocol. To
achieve this, AuraGem will be bringing many of its resources created
originally with Gemini in mind to these other protocols: Nex,
Spartan, Guppy, and Gopher.

AuraGem's Search Engine is getting ready to be able to crawl from
these other protocols. Many other services, like AuraGem's Public
Radio and YT Proxy are already available from Nex, Spartan, and
Gopher.

Finally, to allow for the easy expansion of these networks, I have
started creating a server that one can set up to support each of
these protocols. It is called SIS, and it stands for Smallnet
Information Services. You can find more information on that project
here:

SIS will also allow one to setup a Misfin server in the future, but
for now one can use my other misfin server implementation:
