[_Gopher_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol)) is a communications protocol that, in the early 90s, competed (briefly) with what became the world wide web. _Gopher_ serves up files and text based menus. As such, it is much lighter weight than HTML documents and the like served over http. Due to its text based nature it also has the benefit of being reliable in its visual output and style, and for being relatively accessible.
Once the above items are installed, you should be able to run the following to get things up and running:
python3 /path/to/burrow/burrow.py
Note: Users on OSX will get an error thrown as OSX's version of Tkinter does not support PNG files. There is currently an issue open for this, if anyone wants to either convert the PNG buttons to GIFs, or use PIL to make them work with Tkinter (both are pretty easy, I just have not gotten around to it yet since I am not on a mac).
Burrow's primary system target is debian based linux systems. Once a version 1.0 is reached the plan is to distribute via .DEB packages and possibly through snapcraft (if a workable bundle can be figured out).
Some version of windows executable may come along as well, depending on configurability of build tools (py2exe, freeze, etc) for windows executables and time.
To contribute, please branch off of `develop` and then submit a pull request into `develop` with any changes. As the project grows I will likely add wiki, issues, project, etc as the need arises and more people get involved.
