It's accessible on port 70 at gopherpedia.com, or via proxy server at http://gopherpedia.com/ The data is searchable, and there's a list of recent searches on the front page, along with a mirror of Wikipedia's featured daily content. This is definitely a work in progress with some kinks and rough edges. To implement the site, I wrote a custom gopher server in ruby as well as a PHP proxy server, both of which are available on github: https://github.com/muffinista/gopher2000 https://github.com/muffinista/gophper-proxy The data is a little stale because dealing with wikipedia dumps is a challenging and time-consuming process, but I will probably try and keep it reasonably up to date. There's also the occasional place where my parsing of wikitext isn't quite working. I have fond memories of using gopher in the early days of my life on the internet, so this was both a fun learning exercise, and a chance to revisit those early adventures. Thanks! -- Colin Mitchell http://muffinlabs.com/ This is my signature _______________________________________________ Gopher-Project mailing list Gopher-Project@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gopher-project (DIR) Followup: Re: [gopher] Announcing gopherpedia.com (DIR) Followup: Re: [gopher] Announcing gopherpedia.com
