People on the ground could remind a glider on final
with his gear up that he/she may want to consider lowering
their gear.

We have radios in all gliders in our club but also the rule that a
glider with gear up is not informed on final. If the gilder is past base
with gear up, the pilot is not informed. The reason for this this,
that some gilder pilots have not the capability to bring the gear down
and to fly the aircraft while on final.

I fully support the policy to have a radio in every gilder and tow plane.

A audio variometer is also a very important piece of equipment to allow
see and avoid to work.
