I've already set up a rapid prototype for this matter and worked out some ideas that can help us moving into this direction. > Out-of-scope ideas: > > > * Suckless font rendering library > > * Improve sltar > > * Write cookie handler for surf > > * Gopher services > > * A sane backend for surf > > * A VGA/DVI/Displayport-to-TTY cable Yes, sltar should be removed anyway. The tar in sbase has many improvements over it and sltar has some pretty dangerous bugs. Don't we already even have origin-respecting cookie handling in surf? In general, all things surf are too tough for one weekend. As much as I'd love to see a greater adoption, I must admit that in my humble opinion Gopher is dead. Even if we served suckless.org with Gopher, it would not change this fact and would just be a waste of time spent more productively on other things. However, if there is a trivial solution to serve suckless.org as a gopher service (as we can see e.g. with stagit-gopher), I have no objections to do so. The "A VGA/DVI/Displayport-to-TTY cable" is a joke. > Out-of-scope projects: > > > * blind > > * dwm > > * st > > * surf > > * dmenu > > * farbfeld > > * ii > > * sent > > * slock > > * tabbed > > * lsw > > * sprop > > * sselp > > * swarp > > * wmname > > * xssstate > > * libzahl > > * svkbd > > * vis? > > * svc > > * morpheus init scripts > > * oasis?

Yes, that sounds like a great idea. I won't be able to help with the ld-wrapper, but as we can already see, there's enough work to fill an entire fortnight.
