The world needs g-git.

When I was at my old job (DBA and programmer), we used a
very hacked upon
RCS that was attached to a very large, ungainly Makefile
provided to us by
the vendor for the school's information system. This meant
fun things like

% make ci F=foo.c

This sucked for filec, so the first thing I did was alias
all the various
RCS targets so it was like being back in *regular* RCS.
Don't ask me what
the Makefile did.

gopher git?

Git uses Curl, which I think used to support gopher, but not
any longer, 
alas.

I'm not really sure what to do with UMN gopher and pygopherd
right now, 
either.  I have sites over at http://software.complete
.org for many of my 
other projects, with wiki, bug tracker, etc.  I'm thinking
of migrating them 
to Redmine, which adds forums and tighter integration
between projects.  I 
had never set up the gopher stuff there for wanting to keep
it all on 
gopher, but it turns out to take too much time to try to
maintain things 
well in two different places.

OTOH, I haven't seen much interest in pygopherd or UMN
gopher for the past 
couple of years, either.

Oh my.

Incidentally, what license are you putting on that Firefox
plugin you're 
working on?  If it's something BSDish, GPL, or whatnot, I
could work to get 
it in Debian.
