Gemini and CGI hosting

[Luke Emmet]

Thanks (and to others who responded). I would be interested in something 
like this if and when it proves feasible for user based scripting.

At the moment I'm just looking at the old fashioned plain CGI - due to 
its simplicity from the script author's point of view - even though as 
we know it is harder to secure and the performance is not great.

I've made some progress and managed to get Molly Brown installed on a 
local raspberrypi, so at least I have somewhere to experiment for now.

Thanks
