Eelco van Asperen
Ported the line-mode browser the
PC under PC-NFS; developed a curses
version. Email: evas@cs.few.eur.nl.
Carl was at CERN for a six month
period during his degree course at
Brunel University, UK. Carl worked
on the server side, on client authentication
and multiple format handling.
Worked on NCSA Mosaic and the HTMLWidget.

Currently in CN division. Before
coming to CERN, Tim worked on, among
other things, document production
and text processing. He developed
his first hypertext system, "Enquire",
in 1980 for his own use (although
unaware of the existence of the term
HyperText). With a background in
text processing, real-time software
and communications, Tim decided that
high energy physics needed a networked
hypertext system and CERN was an
ideal site for the development of
wide-area hypertext ideas. Tim started
the WorldWideWeb project at CERN
in 1989. He wrote the application
on the NeXT along with most of the
communications software. Phone: 3755,
Email: timbl@info.cern.ch. See bio

Formerly a staff member in charge
of computer operations at the Cornell
Law School, Tom is now a research
associate working on a variety of
projects involving the dissemination
of legal information on the Internet.
He is the author Cello , an all-singing,
all-dancing WWW browser for Microsoft
Windows. E-mail:tom@law.mail.cornell.edu.
Formerly in programming language
design and compiler construction,
Robert has been interested in document
production since 1975, when he designed
and implemented a widely used document
markup and formatting system. He
ran CERN's Office Computing Systems
group from 87 to 89. He is a long-time
user of Hypercard, which he used
to such diverse ends as writing trip
reports, games, bookkeeping software,
and budget preparation forms. Robert
is mainly supporting physics experiments
with WWW. Phone:
+41 (22) 767 50 05, Email: cailliau@www.cern.ch.
Be aware of his agenda .

An early follower of the project, Dan wrote a private X-Windows editor for
Convex, and encouraged the use of proper SGML and MIME in the future.
He wrote a DTD for HTML and an HTML
legalizer for old files. The "SGML cop" himself, Dan has put a lot of
work in on the HTML specs. After a brief spell off the net, Dan is
now at Hal Software Systems. and back into W3, editing the HTML spec
for example.
Peter Dobberstein
While at the DESY lab in Hamburg
(DE), Peter did the port of the
line-mode browser onto MVS and, indirectly,
VM/CMS. These were the most difficult
of the ports to date. He also overcame
many incidental problems in making
a large amount of information in
the DESY database available.
Kim Nyberg, Teemu Rantanen, Kati
Suominen and Kari Syd{nmaanlakka
('{' is 'a' with two dots above it..
we must get some character set description
into HTML!) (under the supervision
of Ari Lemmke) are "Erwise". At
Helsinki Technical University, they
are writing a Motif-based WWW browser
(editor? we can hope...) for their
undergraduate final year project.
The team can be reached as erwise@cs.hut.fi
and Ari as arl@cs.hut.fi.
Alain Favre
Alain is an undergraduate working
with ECP/PT on a browser for Windows
on PCs. Phone: 8265, no email yet.
In CERN mostly in the afternoons.
David Foster
With wide experience in networking,
and a current conviction information
systems and PC/Windows being the
way of the future, Dave is having
a go at a MS-Windows browser/editor.
Dave also has a strong interest in
server technology and intelligent
information retrieval algorithms.
frystyk@dxcern.cern.ch
Technical Student at CERN from February 1994 to February 1995. He will complete
his MSc degree as telecommunications engineer at Aalborg University,
Denmark, in august 1994. Henrik is working in the CN division and
is currently responsible for the common CERN WWW Library. He would
like to have a guest page but haven't had the time...
During his stay at CERN as "cooperant",
J-F joined the project in September
1991. He wrote the gateway to the
VMS Help system , worked on a new
modular browser architecure, and
helped support and present WWW at
all levels. He later as consultant
ported the communications code to
DECnet in order to set up servers
for physics experiments., and helped
the Danish Technical Library set
up their W3 server. JF also worked
for NeXT Europe. He now is a consultant
in networked information systems

Tony Johnson
Tel: (415) 926 2278, TONYJ@scs.slac.stanford.edu.
Designer of MidasWWW . Boston University,
collaborating with SLAC, SSC, etc.
A SLAC server expert and a WWWizard
.
John Kilburg
wrote an Athena-based
WWW browser named Chimera. Chimera uses
a modification of the NCSA HTML widget to display HTML. In real life
he is the system programmer for the Department of Physics at UNLV.
Paul Kunz
Paul took the W3 word across to SLAC,
installed the clients and inspired
the setting up of servers by the
WWWizards . Paul spreads enthusiasm
for all sort of good ideas such as
OO programming, NeXTs, etc...
Willem van Leeuwen
at NIKHEF, WIllem put up many servers
and has provided much useful feedback
about the w3 browser code.
luotonen@dxcern.cern.ch
A Technical Student at CERN, in the project from July 1993 to June, maybe
even August, 1994. He will complete his MSc degree at Tampere University
of Technology, Finland, in May 1995. Ari is now working in the Programming
Techniques Group of ECP. He is responsible for the CERN server , and right now working on caching on httpd s running
as
proxies. See also his guest page.
