Having added finger support to #Rogallo, I guess it makes sense that I also look to adding Gopher support too. https://blog.davep.org/2026/07/26/port70-a-gopher-protocol-library-for-python.html

I&#39;m kind of surprised to find that there doesn&#39;t appear to be an #Emacs package that provides a handy mode for editing #gophermap files. Like, sure, they&#39;re not *that* tricky, but it seems like it could be (or could once have been) a handy mode. #gopher

I think I&#39;m very close to calling the #Gopher support for #Rogallo initially complete. Still some testing to do, but I&#39;m navigating various servers just fine now. #SmallWeb #smolweb #python #programming

Random thought: if the @fsf obsolete your contribution, I wonder if they&#39;d be willing to sign copyright back over? https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2025-03/msg00208.html etc for context.
