+is a new protocol being devloped by several members of
+gopherspace.  It aims to solve some of the long-standing technical
+issues associated with gopher as a protocol, while keeping the major benifits.
+For instance, it _requires_ encrypted connections, it does away with
+the selector type, and allows servers to explicitly specify the
+character coding scheme used for text documents.
+
+The latest versions of Elpher aim to provide seemless navigation between
+gemini and gopher documents.  Basically you should be able to open,
+bookmark, download and otherwise interact with gemini pages in exactly
+the same way as you do with other non-gemini pages.  The only major
+difference from your perspective as a user is that you should no longer
+have to worry about manually toggling TLS on or off, and you should
+never have to manually set a character coding scheme.
+
+I should emphasize however that, while it is definitely functional,
+Elpher's gemini support is still experimental, and various aspects will
+change as the protocol develops further.  Additionally, client TLS
+certicificates are as yet unsupported.
