History

Read about the history of the World Wide Web Consortium, founded in 1994 by Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee at the urging of companies investing increasingly in the Web, to foster a consistent architecture and robust web standards.

@BeAware the more voices in the open knowledge world, the better. The Wikimedia movement has great projects read by millions each year, so I think they have an important role here and it is very aligned with their values. In a decentralized world, we don't need one single leadership.

I'm glad there are great organizations like W3C working on that. The more, the merrier.
