This project log now has a feed, in the standard described in this document by the Gemini project leadership:

Subscribing to Gemini pages

I think it's a good standard and I respect the rationale behind it - specifically, making sure that people can keep a gemlog without having to use some other tool, like the Python script I was briefly planning to write to generate an Atom feed. I want to hear from just as many people who *aren't* programmers.

As part of this change, each entry on this log will now be on its own page. Long term, this is obviously better than a single file growing bigger and bigger. Maybe I should start titling these posts?

I really, really like the idea of Gemini becoming a space where people subscribe to and read various gemlogs, the way we did back in the RSS / google Reader golden age. Or heck, the livejournal golden age. Those were arguably more products of cultural convergences than technology or platform machinations, but I think the energy going into Gemini right now could blossom into something great. We'll see!
