-Gus: The small web application framework
-========================================
+Gus: The small web server toolkit 
+=================================
 
 Gus is named after Virgil "Gus" Grissom, one of the pilots in the Gemini program and commander of Gemini 3.
 
-Gus is, to my knowledge, the first gemini server conceived as a _framework_. The goal is to provide the go-to set of Go libraries for interacting with the gemini protocol as a server or client, somewhat analagous to net/http in the standard library.

 Thus `gus/gemini` defines types such as `Request` and `Response`, useful interfaces such as a `Handler` abstraction, the concept of `Middleware`, and a `Server` which brings together a `net.Listener`, a `tls.Config`, and a `Handler` to actually serve the protocol. It *does not*, however, contain any logic for serving files from the filesystem or things of that nature.
