An ideal

A data sharing system I wish  I had is basically Gopher without any
selectors, distributing  any type  of file,  and using  UTF-8 plain
text as it's base file type.

No Javascript, no selectors, no  formatting tags, no markdown. Just
plain text  linkified by the  client. Any text  file can thus  be a
menu. Anything  else is handled by  external applications. External
viewers can be called by hitting a key.

The  client should  be multiprotocol.  Protocols can  be added  via
plugin. If  the file can be  converted to plain text,  pipe it back
into the client  otherwise detect file types using file  and act on
it via mailcap.

Server  side   scripting  could  be  handled   by  specifying  file
extensions in a server config file, ex.

.php="/usr/bin/php"

I'm sure this  wish list can be improved, but  basically the server
proposes,  the client  disposes, and  keep  the unix  way of  small
applications doing only one thing but doing it well.
