Tim Berners-Lee has announced he creation of the World Wide Web Foundation, which seeks,
- to advance One Web that is free and open,
- to expand the Web’s capability and robustness,
- and to extend the Web’s benefits to all people on the planet.
The Web Foundation is bringing together business leaders, technology innovators, academia, government, NGOs, and experts in many fields to tackle challenges that, like the Web, are global in scale. By funding research, technology development, and outreach, the Web Foundation strives to enable all people to share knowledge, access services, conduct commerce, participate in good governance, and communicate in creative ways.
There is also an interesting short article at the BBC on the role of the Foundation in certifying websites that it has found a reliable source of information.
