What I'd like to see most is Konqueror gopher support debugged -- or
some other filemanager implement konqueror-like support. Konq is,
AFAICT, the first interface to gopher that really shows it like it
should be -- as a global filesystem. You can drag-and-drop, view
gopherspace as a tree (just as you would your local filesystem), etc.
The idea is awesome. The implementation, unfortunately, it highly
buggy.

More visibility. This week's announcement has brought in interest
from all over. We've received a lot of bug reports and suggestions.
I think that we need to have all the other gopher projects visible as
well. Put up a page on freshmeat or something. Make announcements of
releases here and in comp.infosystems.gopher.
Remember: there is still a large VMS community :-)
