[gopher] Re: Content for a gopher server?

[Chris <chris@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You can put anything on your Gopher...
New, old, both. Thats the neat part:)
What do you like, what do you wish was faster to access
and wasn't cluttered with adds? Maybe some current thing that you could fetch 
from a direct source or even from a web page and put in a simple text method 
into your gopher (like daily hourly or whatever).
Phlog your opinion, look for and save historical files put recipes or your 
hobbies, plans for things you like to build free content is always nice. Text, 
images, movies, sounds, programs, anything at all.
I see sites that are archaic and historical and un-updated and then pages like 
the equivalent of a web personal homepage and blends between them and a few 
pages very specific to a certain science. You might just take some time and 
browse from one end to the other and verify whats out there and see a niche 
that youd like to help out. IMO it's quite free and unhindered.
