Re: [gopher] Gopher+ support in the community

Hello everyone,

I'm curious to know how many widely used Gopher clients properly support
Gopher+ and what's the communities general view about supporting it.
I like gopher+ and would be happy to see it alive, although now it is fully supported AFAIK only in the UMN server (undeservedly discontinued) and client (but their support is close to perfect and can be considered a reference implementation).
One should notice however that gopher+ is just an extension. It has never been and should not be obligatory, and nothing can prevent from inventing other extensions (provided that support can be added to the clients) in a way similar to web browser extensions. Would be nice if gopher+ could be added as a plugin (library) to the existing clients like Lynx or Overbite. 



I personally haven't used any Gopher+ features, and my current
GopherSpace doesn't use it either. How many of your gopherspaces have
Gopher+ support?

I'm also a tad curious on working with "gophers://", Gopher over TLS.
it'd be easy to enable on a gopher server, but no clients currently
support it.

On that note about Gopher clients, I did mention awhile back that I was
planning on developing a more modern stand alone gopher client for PCs.
So if I made a new client, I'd add Gopher over TLS support for kicks,
and depending on overall support, maybe Gopher+ support. OverbiteFF
doesn't do Gopher+ it seems(from reading it's source) and neither does
the android client...

One last question... what is your Gopher client of choice, and why?

Kevin.
