You don't /surf/, you /fly/. You don't visit a /site/, but a /capsule/. This guide aims to clarify what's what in the NQ2. Hang on to your karabiners! # Gemini "users" / "authors" Where the Web has USERs, Gemini has GEMINAUTs. Sometimes they're also called GEMINEMs, or CREWMATEs, or TRAVELLERs, or just the common AUTHOR. Since geminispace has a much higher author-reader ratio than the common Web, we can get away with that last one. Other names for geminauts include: * mailing-list marauders * Solderpunk's Utopian Cult The best way to greet your fellow geminauts is AHOY, CREWMATE. If you're feeling saucy, you can also write: HEYO, GEMINEMS. # Gemini "sites" Where the web has SITEs, Gemini has CAPSULEs. That's the fairly standard nomenclature, though there are a few others I've found: * gemsite * gemlog - equivalent to "blog" * nilog - see "gemlog", but taking the end of the word "Gemini" -- since "blog" comes from weBLOG. # Geminispace > 22:34 What you think of as the Gemini constellation, is in fact a colony of Arachnocampa luminosa laying a mucous trap for an unsuspecting insect flying too high in search of the moon You might think that SPACE is enough of a word to evoke the grand myster of Gemini and its peoples, but let me tell you, it's not. We've come up with a lot of ideas for what to call the collection of all Gemini capsules: * NQ2: from the quadrant of sky the Gemini constellation is in * constellation: a collection of stars * geminiverse: like, Universe, but ... you know, Gemini (h/t lukee, who else?!) # Contrubute your own!
