This is one of those really cool projects! I don't know what gopher sites
still exist, but it is definitely a cool project. And incidentally, I used
to work with (and was very good friends with) Mark McCahill when he was
still at the University of Minnesota. Mark was the original creator of
Gopher. I may look Mark up again and share this with him. :-)
(I'm the Director of Information Technology / CIO at the University of
Minnesota Morris, but previously I worked in the Office of Information
Technology at the U of M Twin Cities campus for 12 years, and Mark & I
often worked together.)
