Gemini is a new application-level internet protocol for the distribution of arbitrary files, with some special consideration for serving a lightweight hypertext format which facilitates linking between files. You may think of Gemini as "the web, stripped right back to its essence" or as "Gopher, souped up and modernised just a little", depending upon your perspective (the latter view is probably more accurate). Gemini may be of interest to people who are:

• Opposed to the web's ubiquitous tracking of users
• Tired of nagging pop-ups, obnoxious adverts, autoplaying videos and other misfeatures of the modern web
• Interested in low-power computing and/or low-speed networks, either by choice or necessity
