First into the list

WWW Consortium. Yes, I'm going to throw the web back into Tim Berners Lee's face. Well, sort of. The W3C site may well be full of useful standards and discussion, but it's hardly a barrel of laughs. Plus, it's quite hard to find the most important stuff about the Web - i.e. it's raison d'etre... and when you look at TBL's home page, you wonder about whether he's really just sick and tired of the world.

The reason to look up this page was to find out what the web is supposed to be about. Here are some ideas, culled from the original document on the subject:

• Information managament
• Easy to find information with rich, cross system, links
• Copyright not important, access is
• Easy to use and standardised
• Accessibility more important than fancy graphics
• Should be useful

Having said that, the original proposal, which set the whole ball rolling, is littered with spelling errors. What an anticlimax.
