I also like the Overbite interface. But this made me think about how important Overbite is IMHO. Gopher is = extremely obscure. Much more then Tor or i2p. If there is no Overbite plugin or a very similar plugin for Firefox = and/or for Google Chrome I believe Gopherweb will get its final blow. It = will be come even more obscure and tiny then it currently is. Yes, you can use Lynx or some other even more obscure text browser. = There are some very old GUI gopher-only browsers that could still work = more or less on some platforms. But that is for expert-nerds. And if you need to use a web-to-gopher = proxy ; what is the fun then? To keep Gopherweb on life support the first mission of the gopher = community must be to keep Overbite or similar current. Making new, modern and actively developed gopher server software - like = there is currently - is also very important. But a bit less then Overbite. There are several usable gopher sever software solutions but there is = only one Overbite.
