Intensify gopher-over-tor usage
===============================
These days it's common practice to post "plain" gopher links (like
gopher://kroovy.de). But within the scope of our Gopher Onion
Initiative, we should intensify the use of gopher://*.onion URIs.
Programs like Evil_Bob's paste-service[1] can easily changed to produce
*.onion URIs.
Of course there might be some cases, in which it's not that easy to
access the tor network. For example if you're in a restricted network,
or aren't able to use your own computer.
Also we will have to think about how to handle .onion URIs when using a
gopherproxy:
Even if the gopherproxy would be an onion-service we would break the
end-to-end encryption which a user might not expect.
Still I think the default should become a .onion link.
