[ANN] -- kinda? LEO, Molniya, and the greater question of Gemini webrings

Hey all,

I've been working on an idea today and I'd like to share it with you all.

Earlier we were discussing webrings, and I've created something I think 
will satisfy some (not all, but you can't please everybody) people's ideas 
of how a webring would work. I'm calling it an "orbit" (in keeping with 
the space theme), and the basic idea is pages that want to participate 
link to a special page that redirects people to the last page, the next 
page, or even a random page in the orbit. I've also created a software 
setup for doing it, and a public version people can join.

Introducing LEO, a public orbit that anyone* can join: all you have to do 
is follow the instructions at gemini://tilde.team/~khuxkm/leo/, and 
whenever GUS catches on that you've linked to LEO, you should be added to 
the list! Along with the release of LEO, I'm also releasing Molniya, the 
code which runs LEO, so that others can start their own orbits without 
having to worry about coding it themselves.

(*) People who are blocked by GUS or are not indexed by GUS for some 
reason *can* join LEO but it's a more involved process that involves 
emailing me. Luckily, if you're not blocked by GUS you can add your 
capsule to GUS's index pretty easily.

Just my two cents,
Robert "khuxkm" Miles

Awesome! I'll be sure to join very soon.

Very cool. Thanks for setting this up, Robert. I really love the "orbit"
name for Gemini webrings. Let's hope it gains more widespread usage.

Cheers,
  Gary
