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

Yeah, I thought your photo of Dave on FB was a gimme and yet ... that's not trivial, either. Well, I'm in. How do we build The Real History of the Web?

We tell our stories is my thought (and by we I mean everyone and anyone who has lived and worked the Web in some formative way). I want to talk and write and document with all interested and publish CC or open source via mollydotcom domain I get back on 28th. All input welcome!

Easy start: post photos of key events/meetings (as you did on FB), ask people to identify and tell story: what, who, when, why, what came next; link that to a timeline maybe like @johnallsop's at webdirections.org/history/.

Exactly that and also conversations interviews podcasts whatever Gets the story told through many eyes because we are after all the world and wide!
