Let me be clear what I mean:

I *personally* don't want to put a lot of time and effort into
supporting  Gopher, but I'm certainly willing to take content and
marshal it over into the  gopher area, make changes to the server, etc.
If folks use gopher, and most  importantly if it becomes a draw that
pulls people into Grex then I'm fine  with it. If it doesn't, then I'll
take it down (it is, after all, yet another  unencrypted service running
on Grex that could become a security issue). But  if no one is using it,
then no one will notice. :-)

I'd be slightly more enthusiastic about a low-markup set of static blog
web  sites, to be totally honest. Gopher as a protocol is a lot less
interesting. A  gopher-style thing via HTTP, with minimalist content (a
la Markdown) that's  directly interpreted in lieu of HTML is a lot more
interesting.
