Picture of Jim Gettys I'm working at W3C on loan from Compaq Computer Corporation's Industry Standards and Consortia group. I can be reached at jg@w3.org. I am the editor of the HTTP/1.1 specification, and work on the HTTP/NG project.

Jim Gettys joined W3C in July 1995 on secondment from Compaq's Industry Standards and Consortia Group. Jim is one of the authors of AF, a network transparent audio server system, and one of the principle authors of the X Window System.
