This document explains the subset of the FTP protocol as defined in
RFC 959 which is required to browse
FTP directories and download files accessible by FTP. Although there
may still exist some conformant but unusual FTP servers around the
Internet, this document is intended for accessing the great majority
of existing servers hosted on Posix operating systems.

2:13 PM <jcowan> "Ever since the great Kyros set up the Persian Empire, to wring all gold an silver has been the policy of the Persian kings.
2:14 PM <jcowan> And what became of this wealth? Was it spent on public works to ease the lot of their subjects? Nay; it was piled up in bags of coin and bars of metal in Sousa and Hagmatana and Parsa, or made into statues..
2:15 PM <jcowan> So, as precious metal became scarcer in the empire, business ran slower, for every man clutched what coins he had, not knowing when he would get his fingers on more.
2:16 PM <mangol> is circulation the fundamental problem here?
2:17 PM <jcowan> Now this vast treasure your Alexander seizes, and in an orgy of profusion spends it: leading armies to India, and paying his soldiers lavish bonuses, and ordering vast public works. Like the Tigris in spring, the stream of money in the Empire rises. Now every man spends his money quickly, lest itts value shrink while it lies in his wallet.

This document is a rough specification of proposed additions to XCCS,
the internal character set of Interlisp and various other Xerox products
and the direct ancestor of Unicode. Since no one else is maintaining it,
the Medley Project has taken over the effort. The initial objective here
is to be able to make use of more modern fonts,
for which we need full XCCS-to-Unicode mappings,
and to be able to handle the most important characters
required to write modern languages.

Dioscuri, a Gemini-adjacent protocol for interaction
Dioscuri is a protocol intended to supplement Gemini for doing things like performing remote actions or running an application server. It is the POST to Gemini's GET. Dioscuri servers will run on a different port from Gemini servers, so that they do not interfere with each other; it will often be useful to run multiple servers on one host, so no fixed port is specified. The use of client certificates for authorization is strongly recommended, especially if requests are interpreted to affect server-side state.
The name "Dioscuri" is the Latin version of the Classical Greek name Διόσκουροι for the Heavenly Twins, Castor and Pollux/Polydeukes, who were called Gemini in Latin; the constellation is named after them. I say dee-OH-skoo-ree, but Greeks, classicists, and others should feel free to pronounce the name their way.
