Internet itself is older RT @stefan: "On August 6, 1991 [34 years ago], the first website was introduced to the world. [It] contained information about the World Wide Web Project. It launched at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, where it was created by British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee."

🌐 Did you know? The very first website went live in 1991 and it's still online! Happy World Wide Web Day! 🎉

Today is International Spider-Man Day AND International World Wide Web day.

A coincidence? I think not!

The Vision for W3C has been officially published as a ratified W3C Statement: https://www.w3.org/TR/2025/STMT-w3c-vision-20250729/

As one of the editors, along with Chris Wilson (@cwilso.com @c@w3c.social), I’m both proud of this multi-year W3C Advisory Board (AB) effort, and grateful to everyone who contributed and gave feedback that helped improve the document.

Writing down and openly publishing our collective values and principles is an important step forward for W3C. We now have a shared reference to both guide our priorities and cite to help resolve differences in opinion (rather than having to appeal to authority).

The AB (@w3.org/wiki/AB @ab@w3c.social) has prioritized work on the Vision project for many years (https://www.w3.org/wiki/AB/Vision), and personally, co-leading this project during my time on the AB has been inspiring, challenging, and a source of many lessons learned. Lots more to share on all that. For now, happy to take a moment to celebrate this milestone.

@xandra thinking about this and some of the comments and places they lead, I've been reading about #IndieWeb. I well remember dial up and how the #worldWideWeb seemed so exciting, so domain acquired cutlerweb is in the making. Nothing to see yet, give me a year or two hehe.
