Wikipedia:WikiProject Websites/Early web history task force/Mission statement

Mission statement
Some editors have noted that Wikipedia fails to include information which would be useful to inform future generations of the Early History of the World Wide Web. Even today, there are many thousands of individuals who were born after the nascence of the Web, and have no perspective of the heady days of early technology, tight-knit communities, and the early examples of sites that were the forefathers of now commonplace practices like blogging, search engines and others.

To the extent that Wikipedia contains some information on early websites, it is disjointed and unlinked; nothing links and binds these tidbits in a way that could impart an understanding of the paradigmatic change vanguarded by a few websites and a few core technologies which have redefined human interaction.

Our bold purpose in this WikiProject is to find and bind much of this disappearing information, linking together existing articles and writing new and informative articles with fully verifiable sources, to inform children of today's and tomorrow's Web of the history which preceded them.
