Synchronet offers a Gopher server, but it only serves system content.
What I'd really like to find is a way to make user web/gopher spaces
using Synchronet or Mystic. Not sure how to handle getting files to the
web root and managing the URL redirects, though.

I've been playing with tildes, user spaces where people can share
gopher and gemini pages, public html spaces served with a
website.com/~username URL (hence the name)

Imagine being able to offer access to FTN networks, email, IRC/MRC and
web/gopher space for users as well. It'd be interesting to add that
level of community to BBSing.



.... It's a bold strategy, Cotton, let's see if it plays out for 'em...
