Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, unveiled today the World Wide Web Foundation to fulfill a vision of the Web as humanity connected by technology. The mission of the foundation is:
* to advance One Web that is free and open,
* to expand the Web's capability and robustness, and
* to extend the Web's benefits to all people on the planet.
..."The Web is a tremendous platform for innovation, but we face a number of challenges to making it more useful, in particular to people in underserved communities," said Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and co-Director of the Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI), organizations that have helped put together the World Wide Web Foundation. "Through this new initiative, we hope to develop an international ecosystem that will help shape the future Web. A more inclusive Web will benefit us all."
