No, no. Not read olny. It should be fully featured Gopher+ interface

Well read-only mirror is also good, but I never had enough
"serverpower" to do this myself ;)

Is there an official IRC channel for HTTP users? "Official" makes no
sense imo. However channel of something like "users' group" may be
useful.

No "gopher marketing" today. I don't have my own gopher hole to
advertise in sig (yet?).
