Default index files

I installed Jetforce on gopher.black tonight and immediately ran into a
very basic question. What is the _name_ of the default index file? I
looked through the spec (granted not closely) and didn't see it defined.
In the end I read through Michael's source for Jetforce and found that
he's using ".gemini" to override the default file listing and serve an
index gemini file.

Is that standard? Is there a standard? That seems like a fairly basic
thing we might want to include. It seems small now, but if a Gemini
server were to grow large and wanted to change server software that
could become a big barrier.

Anyway, check out my mostly empty Gemini server:

gemini://gopher.black
