Gopher was intended to be easy to implement and use, and for a little while, it was very popular. Of course, HTTP and the World Wide Web launched right around that time, and it wasn't long before the Web was proven to be a better platform. Gopher has survived to this day, but the WWW reigns supreme. Despite its lack of popularity, Gopher is still an awesome protocol - it's extremely hackable and fun to work on. People like to put random stuff on their gopher servers -- their blog, articles they write, etc. I decided that I wanted to write an interface to the single greatest source of information on the Internet -- Wikipedia. So, I built Gopherpedia. It runs on Gopher2000 (https://github.com/muffinista/gopher2000), a Ruby library I wrote for developing Gopher services. The web proxy to Gopherpedia is GoPHPer (https://github.com/muffinista/gophper-proxy), which I also wrote.
