On 6 August 1991 Tim Berners-Lee invited the world to use an "easy but powerful global information system” - the World Wide Web.

The power of the web, of using technology to connect and share information, has changed all our lives.

W3C opens a 6-minute-or-more survey until 13 September and seeks community-wide input to investigate needs, and understand our community’s vision of how we fulfill our mission for the world-wide web.

If you are a W3C participant, please, take the survey and boost for reach!

We will continue to offer our help to those trying to make the web better (as we write in our design principle Leave the web better than you found it), and we hope that all browsers and user agents will continue to work collaboratively to make that happen."
