Inspired by Tim Berners-Lee


 

Famous quote from Tim Berners-Lee

"In 1980, I wrote a program for keeping track of software with which I was involved in the PS control system. Called Enquire, it allowed one to store snippets of information, and to link related pieces together in any way."

"Soon after my re-arrival at CERN in the DD division, I found that the environment was similar to that in PS, and I missed Enquire. I therefore produced a version for the VMS, and have used it to keep track of projects, people, groups, experiments, software modules and hardware devices with which I have worked. I have found it personally very useful."

"Information Management: A Proposal"
This internal memo (dated 1989) was an attempt to persuade CERN management that a global hypertext system was in CERN's interests. This project marked the beginning of the World Wide Web.
