Rich,

I took a quick look at your gopher tree and there is a lot of good info that can become part of any wiki on gopher. I saw the U of Minn mother gopher there too. It breaks my heart to see this link dead, but, ah, such is life, eh?

Can you elaborate on these points a little, please?

Thank you for this offer. I definitely could use a hand. A couple of years ago my son who actually maintained the files for the gopher course suffered a hard drive crash with no backups. Fortunately, I have hard copy out in my garage, so I'm going to dig up those moldering pages and start typing them in. I'll send them to you as I have them.

In the meantime, I'm going to set up a media wiki for this purpose. I found a Dutch guy who will host a wiki for us for under 100 Euros per year.

What we need now is a logo for the gopherspace wiki. I am a terrible artist. Any ideas? Do you know someone who can create a realistic furry varmint?

BTW how does the domain name gopherpedia.org sound? If that sounds too blah to some ears, then any suggestions will be most welcome.

Thanks again.

Tom
