Evergreen web team extends protocol support


In light of the upcoming adoption of HTTP/2, the Evergreen web team decided to survey the space of online information-sharing protocols.

Since a span of 26 years has evidently not proven sufficient to shake all the bugs out of HTTP, we’ve decided to hedge our bets and extend our Internet presence to include support for a protocol that’s been patiently waiting in the wings… just in case.

We are therefore pleased to announce the availability of

gopher://gopher.evergreen-ils.org/

We are proud to join the ever-expanding Gophersphere, and hope members of the Evergreen community find this to be a useful, if light-hearted, historical resource.

To join in the fun, install your favorite Gopher client and start exploring! Here’s a little preview:
