3 Remember gopher? Ikiwiki can be served up by this venerable protocol.
5 It's pretty simple to get it going. Just install pygopherd or another gopher
6 server, and have ikiwiki put its pages where that server expects. For
7 pygopherd, it was in `/var/gopher`.
9 When building the wiki, make sure to specify --no-usedirs (or equivilant in
10 the setup file). Gopher doesn't convert "foo/" links into

12 disabled, browsing through the wiki via gopher will work just fine.

15 web server around for editing pages. If you do set up a cgi, make sure to
16 configure `url` to something like `gopher://hostname/h/`, so that it
17 links back properly to gopherspace from the CGI.
