I'd like to see some side-by-side comparisons of Gopher pages and the
"source" used to generate it.  Sort of like some PHP sites, where you
can click a link and view the actual PHP.

A wiki sounds interesting...actually, that sounds like an interesting
project:  Modify a wiki which will parse a gopher page.  That way,
editing the page will display the actual source.

Hmm...if anyone's interested, I might just try to tackle that later in
the fall after school is underway.  pmwiki sounds like a good
candidate, it's in Perl and I believe there's a Perl gopher module
(plus, the creator of pmwiki, Patrick Michaud, is local to me and
might be persuaded to provide some pointers!).
