Our industry is not well documented. I think #WebDesign #WebDev #UX #UI would benefit from historical storytelling. Your voices, shared anecdotes - strong and authentic. Battliing Wikipedia biases is not for me. If you like this idea, say so. Thank you for walking along with me.

Yes. When you posted photos on Facebook, I was surprised how little recognition there was of the people and the events they were involved in. The story of how we got here should be told.

In w3c spec parlance I suggest that the word should should be changed to must! I felt the same thing but I had a Harbinger when I spoke to the Indiana folks doing a history of web design for their PHD and while lovely guys had no fucking clue about ie6 or the CSS zen garden Etc

Yes, we need people write the stories before we lose them. @oluoluoxenfree asked about the history of web accessibility before.

Web #a11y /#accessibility folks: Would anyone be interested on creating a detailed history of web accessibility with me? Would love to interview people, dig through some emails, and work out where it all started! 🙂 Other disabled people to the front of course!
