The Gopher Project mailing list information page is here:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gopher-project

... and the list archive is supposed to be here:
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.network.gopher.general

... but getting to the archived messages seems to be problematic, too. :(

Is anyone not already on the list interested in the referenced discussion on
the list's future? I could cut-and-paste and post a log of the discussion so
far.

OK --> gopher://grex.org/1/~papa/gopherml

Diverging into three threads, this discussion has generated more ML traffic
in three days than the ML has seen on all subjects in a year.

I have just dumped the raw e-mail files so you will have to page through
headers, quoted text, and sometimes HTML, but the whole story is in there if
you're interested.

If you want to add to the discussion, I suggest you send e-mail directly 
to one of the members already participating and ask them to post to the 
list on your behalf. (Unfortunately, though I am registered on the list 
with two e-mail addresses, I cannot post to the list from either of 
them.)

Regarding posting to the Gopher Project mailing list, I have heard it is 
possible via news.gmane.org using a news reader client.

Also, I can post on your behalf if you send me e-mail. I thought I had 
lost permission to post, but found a way I can still do it.

A few users here are active in the gopher space on grex, thanks for keeping
it running cross. 

quick question: in our html folders we're not supposed to upload images, as
far as I understand. What about our gopher folders? I put a few images in mine
of an electronics project. Is it a common-sense-don't-overdo-it approach, or
are images simply not allowed period? Thanks.

Try either and see whether it works. :-)

there is a bit of a security problem with the current version of gophernicus
we run. please do this to see:

$lynx gopher://grex.org:70/1/server-status

forgive me, i'm not in a multiplex, that /1/ may be a /0/

the page displays the ip address and content viewed from all open sessions.

is it possible to upgrade or otherwise disable this feature?

tildetown and sdf have been able to disable it. would other grexers agree with
or disagree with the suggestion that this is a potential security issue that
should be patched if possible?

thank you kindly grex for serving our gopherspaces. oh the fun we're having!

I'd love to see it disabled, even if it's never seen by anyone.

Visiting grex.org's gopher server works, if you wait a very long time.
At least that's what I've been seeing here. I wonder if it's because
the main menu is generated by script that runs very slowly (the last
time I tried it took 14 minutes!). But as you pointed out, there's no
delay when visiting a user's gopher directly.

One can mail packages out of China but one cannot access the Grex Gopher
server behind the great wall.

Any thoughts on the gopher server slowness? User pages seem to load quickly,
but the home/root does not. Anything in the logs that would indicate why?
Time to switch gopher servers?
