I'd like to see some side-by-side comparisons of Gopher pages and the "source" used to generate it. Sort of like some PHP sites, where you can click a link and view the actual PHP.

A wiki sounds interesting...actually, that sounds like an interesting project: Modify a wiki which will parse a gopher page. That way, editing the page will display the actual source.

Hmm...if anyone's interested, I might just try to tackle that later in the fall after school is underway. pmwiki sounds like a good candidate, it's in Perl and I believe there's a Perl gopher module (plus, the creator of pmwiki, Patrick Michaud, is local to me and might be persuaded to provide some pointers!).
