I'm going to continue working and enhancing the WikkaGopher proxy (http://www.wikkawiki.org/WikkaGopher). Wikka has a strong userbase among the more savvy wiki users (the ones who realize MediaWiki and the like are quite overbloated and heavyweight), and the idea of an easily-installed proxy module might appeal to some wiki operators and encourage others to set up gopher proxies.

I think a multi-targeted approach (standalone clients, FF plug-ins, proxies, etc.) is the best approach and utilizes the greatest amount of leverage within the gopher talent pool.
