Gemini Server is a server that serves an existing Oddmuse wiki via Gemini protocol. It also tries translate the wiki text from a typical Markdown + Wiki mess like the one I’m using on this wiki here into Gemini format. I think it works and you can look at it using your favourite Gemini Client. #gemini #gopher #web #retro #emacs #pub

The technology template is a hierarchy of characteristics of an Open Hyperdocument System (OHS) by which commercial and research tools can be designed, implemented, and evaluated. "Hyperdocument" implies flexible linkages to any object in any multi-media file. "Open" implies vendor-independent access to the hyperdocuments within and across work groups, platforms, and applications. 1a The characteristics in the template hierarchy range from the definition of low level content and structural elements of a Hyperdocument File System; the means for accessing, navigating, linking, manipulating, and portraying these elementary objects; the basic services, applications, and utilities built from these elements and methods; through end user systems constructed from and interacting with the lower level elements in the hierarchy. 1b The initial template is based on a number of papers by Engelbart cited in the reference section. Many of the initial elements were contained in the Augment system that evolved over many years under his direction. The template is meant to create a living structure into which elements can be added, refined, and in general be discussed by members of the larger Bootstrapping community. 1c We hope evaluations of systems and tools from developers will refer to elements of this template as a way of demonstrating how closely these systems approximate a true OHS. 1d We also hope that these design criteria can serve as a proposal for a core set of methods for Java applets and a class of basic objects responding to these methods so new, interacting, Web-based systems can easily satisfy the requirements for an OHS. #web #content #hyperdocument #technology #pub
