Check out the source code, old HTML tags

I love how every anchor has a line break. I wonder what browser bug forced them to do that...

readme2• 13 years ago

There are no <BR> tags in the source, and <DT> is not a line break.

Looks to me like an attempt at organizing the markup to make it easier to read and edit the source text.

Looks like standard 80-character wrapping to me. I don't see linebreaks on this file, for instance: view-source:http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Helping.html

And there still is. Some of my bets would be on semantic (ontology identification and interaction), multilingual/multicultural (IMHO huge), local-machine personalized, further processing integration (local or cloud: visualization / result manipulation / statistics / monitoring), reputation and other metric system integration for result entities.

This project will never take off.

I think the most interesting page is, of course, http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Bugs.html

There's technology to enable for most webapps (form processing), and search engines right there. And of course, "Gateways: JANET and DECnet for example" are a "Real need."

Really makes you wonder whether the priority decisions you made today will seem similarly ludicrous in 30 years.

"Really makes you wonder whether the priority decisions you made today will seem similarly ludicrous in 30 years."

My bet is on yes.

Simple, clean design. This is how I like to see it done.
