Two of the core ideas of Gemini are that it should have as few features as possible and that it should change as little as possible. Gemini is not very popular, but it is quite mature—there are a number of clients and servers and users who expect Gemini to not change. In this sense, Gemini is more mature and more resistant to change than the web. If you proposed adding a feature which would require changing clients or servers, as your first message on the mailing list, you probably got a response that ‘you don’t understand Gemini.’ Gemini isn’t looking for more people to suggest changes to the spec. If you’d like to create a Gemlog or write a client or a server, I hope that the Gemini community response is more polite.
