Porting Gemini to EMACS GNUS

Hello!

I hope you're all doing well.

I do a lot of my news and email reading in EMACS, using GNUS.

I did a little research, and I found out that GNUS supports subscribing
to RSS feeds natively. I also discovered that GNUS does not really
natively support atom feeds. In the EMACS Wiki, there are only
instructions to convert atom feeds into RSS with an external program.

I attempted to subscribe to a gemini atom feed inside GNUS, just to
attempt to push the envelope a little, and it was not possible.

I am curious: would anyone be able to give me a little guidance about
how I would go about modifying my GNUS so I could subscribe to gemini
atom feeds?

I have been doing quite a bit of study on EMACS LISP lately, so I think
I may be up to the task of doing this--I'm not asking for mentorship,
just perhaps some insights, suggestions, or warnings that anyone might
have.

--

I think the benefits of being able to access gemini space from inside
GNUS would add an extra layer of dynamism to using gemini inside EMACS,
and would help push forward my nefarious agenda to perfect a LISP
operating system (:

Thanks in advance,

vidak.
