WWW PEOPLE This is a list of some of those who have contributed to the WWW project , and whose work is linked into this web. Unless otherwise stated they are at CERN, Phone +41(22)767 plus the extension given below. Address: 1211 Geneva 23, Switzerland. Eelco van Asperen Ported the line-mode browser the PC under PC-NFS; developped a curses version. . Tim Berners-Lee Currently in CN division. Before comming to CERN, Tim worked on, among other things, document production and text processing. He developped his first hypertext system, "Enquire", in 1980 for his own use (although unaware of the existence of the term HyperText). With a background in text processing, real-time software and communications, Tim decided that high energy physics needed a networked hypertext system and CERN was an ideal site for the development of wide-area hypertext ideas. Tim started the WorldWideWeb project at CERN in 1989. He wrote the application on the NeXT along with most of the communications software. Phone: 3755, Email: timbl@info.cern.ch Robert Cailliau Currently in ECP division, Programming Techniques group. Robert has been interested in document production since 1975. He ran the Office Computing Systems group from 87 to 89. He is a long-time user of Hypercard, which he used to such diverse ends as writing trip reports, games, bookkeeping software, and budget preparation forms. Robert is contributing browser software for the Macintosh platform, and will be analysing the needs of physics experiments for online data access. Phone: 5005(office), 4646 (Lab). Email: cailliau@cernvm.cern.ch Peter Dobberstein While at the DESY lab in Hamburg (DE), Peter did the port of the line-mode browser onto MVS and, indirectly, VM/CMS. These were the most difficult of the ports to date. He also overcame many incidental problems in making a large amount of information in the DESY database available. David Foster With wide experience in networking, and a current conviction information systems and PC/Windows being the way of the future, Dave is having a go at a People involved in the WorldWideWeb project (80/80) Email: cailliau@cernvm.cern.ch Peter Dobberstein While at the DESY lab in Hamburg (DE), Peter did the port of the line-mode browser onto MVS and, indirectly, VM/CMS.

David Foster With wide experience in networking, and a current conviction information systems and PC/Windows being the way of the future, Dave is having a go at a MS-Windows berowser/editor. Dave also has a strong interest in server technology and intelligent information retrieval algorithms. Karin Gieselmann With experience as librarian of the "FIND" database on cernvm, interfacing with authors and readers, Karin has volunteered to be a "hyperlibrarian" and look after the content of hypertext databases. Email: Karin@cernvm.cern.ch Jean-Francois Groff Provided some useful input in the "design issues". Currently in ECP/DS as "cooperant", J-F joined the project in September 1991. He wrote the gateway to the VMS Help system , and is looking at new browsers (X-Windows, emacs) and integration of new data sources. Jean-Francois is also working on the underlying browser architecure. Phone: 3755, Email: jfg@cernvax.cern.ch Nicola Pellow Nicola joined the project in November 1990. She is a student at Leicester Polytechnic, UK, and left CERN at the end of August 1991. She wrote the original line mode browser . Bernd Pollermann Bernd is responsible for the "XFIND" indexes on the CERNVM node, for their operation and, largely, their contents. He is also the editor of the Computer Newsletter (CNL), and has experience in managing large databases of information. Bernd is in the AS group of CN division. He has contributed code for the FIND server which allows hypertext access to this large store of information. Phone: 2407 Office: 513-1-16
