For anyone curious, because Gemini is relatively new and kind of has flown under the radar:
### 1.1 What is Gemini?
Gemini is a new application-level internet protocol for the
distribution of arbitrary files, with some special consideration for
serving a lightweight hypertext format which facilitates linking
between files.
Gemini is intended to be simple, but not necessarily as simple as
possible. Instead, the design strives to maximise its "power to
weight ratio", while keeping its weight within "acceptable" limits.
Gemini is also intended to be very privacy conscious.
You may think of Gemini as "the web, stripped right back to its
essence" or as "Gopher, souped up and modernised a little", depending
upon your perspective.

Gopher and finger should be obvious, but just in case:
