- I think Veronica is an excellent idea. I make this statement without
- having even used it, (not for want of trying ) and the popularity of
- the service is reflected by the fact that the server is already
- choked!
-
- We have had the gopher to wais gateway for a while now with gopher
- able to seamlessly access wais databases, and moving towards a setting
- where we can first search then browse and then search again seems like
- exactly the right thing.
-
- Congratulations to the authors of veronica and hoping that more gopher
- servers out there will start mirroring the service in the coming few
- days.
