EDITOR'S NOTE

Good morning,

It may have started out as a proposal for a more effective document management system for internal use by Cern personnel, but today the web is so much more.

In fact it's the 20th anniversary of its creation today.

And so, to celebrate, we present a retrospective look at the web's origins. Feel free to leave your well wishes for the web (or at least its founders) in the comments...

-- Ry Crozier
