There are several forums available for discussing Gopher:
   
  1) This Email mailing list:  gopher -at- complete.org
       (for Gopher discussions, questions, and advocacy).
   
  2) A network News protocol newsgroup:  comp.infosystems.gopher
       (for discussions on Gopher Client Development, Gopher Server 
Development, The Protocol "Gopher", and Gopherspace Engineering).
   
  3) An Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channel on the Freenode IRC server:  
#gopherproject
       (for Gopher discussions, questions, and advocacy).
   
   
  There are several Gopher resource sites on the World Wide Web (http):
   
  1) A linklist to Gopher resources in the Open Directory Project (dmoz): 
http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Gopher/index.html
   
  2) A central download location for basic Gopher Clients for several Operating 
Systems:

  3) A Gopher Protocol entry in Wikipedia:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol)
   
   
  There are several Gopher access services:
   
  1) Several Email services that will accept an Email request for a Gopher 
page, and will then Email back the Gopher Servers response (document viewing 
only; obviously):  
  http://www.livinginternet.com/e/ea_net.htm
   
  2) Gopher Servers can be reached (document viewing only; as this is a 
"remote" session, downloading is not possible) via a Telnet connection to a 
Public Lynx Browser (when asked to choose a teminal type, "vt100" gives a clean 
black & white display):
  http://lynx.scramworks.net/public_lynx.html
   
  3) The Floodgap World Wide Web (http) Pubilc Gopher Proxy (document viewing 
only; as attempting to download ZIP files will cause the archive to be renamed 
"gw.zip", and the download will often become corrupted):  
  http://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/index.html
