“When Tim Berners-Lee invented the webpage, we often forget that he also had to invent the web browser. The crucial point about his browser, the Nexus browser, is that it was a browser-editor, not only did it allow visitors to view the page, it allowed them to edit it. This was a key part of Berners-Lee’s vision. Only by seeing the first webpage and the first web browser in combination can we appreciate that the web was envisaged as a multi-author environment from the outset.”
