We are there - I was involved almost at the beginning of the project and we 
had the library pages up before many others.  Gopher is there too, 
but no more.  I am part of the "revive gopher" tribe....

Things have changed a lot.  Much of the excitement and 
wonder and innovation of 1994 has been corporatised, standardised,
homogenised dare I say plagiarised and now we fight different battles. 
Instead of fighting for the web at all, now we fight for control of it.
