the World Wide Web Foundation
Sir Tim Berners-Lee has announced a new organization, the World Wide Web Foundation, whose goals are
- to advance One Web that is free and open
- to expand the Web’s capability and robustness
- to extend the Web’s benefits to all people on the planet
Clearly the foundation is meant to complement the technical role of the W3C, although the second goal positions the Foundation as an umbrella organization to the now more than decade old W3C.
With the Foundation only launched two days ago, it is clearly very early days. But an orgaization to act as a custodian for the vision (and reality) that Sir Tim Berners-Lee founded the web to be, helmed by the man himself, is a very welcome initiative.
Great reading, every weekend.
We round up the best writing about the web and send it your way each Friday.
