[LINK] RFC: The Web in Oz, 1992-94

[Roger Clarke]

I'm trying to finalise my long-intended history of the first couple 
of years of 'the Web in Oz'.

It reflects the considerable amount of feedback I had following the 
last RFC on this topic back in 2010.

I'd of course greatly appreciate any and all feedback on the paper!

Thanks!  ...  Roger

The World Wide Web arrived just as connections to the Internet were 
broadening from academe to the public generally. It supported 
user-performed publishing and access to documents in both textual and 
graphical forms, and was quickly supplemented by means to discover 
content. The web-browser was the 'killer app' associated with the 
explosion of the Internet into the wider world. The technology 
originated in Switzerland, with key contributions then coming from 
the USA. Australians were among the pioneers in its application, and 
this document traces the story of the Web in Australia from its 
beginnings in 1992, up to 1995, identifying key players and what they 
did, set within the broader context.


The paper is targeted at a refereed journal.  To skip the Intro, 
Precursors, and general Web history, and get directly to the 
Australian segment, go here:
