Gopher Subscriptions Part 2 - 8 Febuary 2017
             ----------------------------------------------

I am very exited right now.  It took me all day, but I wrote out a
specification for a gopher subscription utility which you can find at:

    gopher://sdf.org/0/users/auzymoto/projects/geomys/spec

It's gonna be a lot like moku pona[1], but it's going to be able to
recursivly search through gopher menus and has alot of option for all
kinds of phlogs.

So far I have not implemented anything; I wanted to follow the age old
practice of designing a program before you write it.  It's good advice,
as it is easier to implement something if you actually know what you
want.  As a bonus, I can get feedback from my target audience (you
guys!)  before I spend lots of time and energy working on a program. So
please, send me feedback!

I designed the program to work for three main purposes:

    1) For individual use by a user

    2) For input that can be fed into a client like VF-1

    3) As a tool to build gopher aggregators[2,3]

I feel confident that I have also solved some of psztrnk's concerns[4]
by only looking at links and ignoring all other info in a gopher menu.
While I do agree with psztrnk that the phlogs here on sdf should be
listed by manual intervention[5,6], a gopher subscription tool will help
to find gopher content outside of the sdf.

This is most likely going to be implemented in C, as I'm trying to learn
C programming right now and this seems like the perfect project.

Hope you guys like my design!
