# Web Histories

The [Web Histories](https://webhistories.org) Project.

My aim with this project is to document the hidden history of the open web, 

and to do this in a way that encourages contributions. 

Here are some ways to help.

## Suggestions for people to feature

Perhaps you have a story to tell of your involvement on the web, 

or you know of someone whose contributions should be included. 

In the first instance [raise an issue](https://github.com/rachelandrew/webhistories/issues). 

If you want to do the interview and writing, 

I'll be very happy to act as your editor. 

## Timeline additions

What am I missing? I'd like the timeline to feature the key events in the development of the web platform. 

Raise an issue and I can add the data. 

Or you can submit a Pull Request, 

timeline events are created by adding a new file under `/events` inthe following format:

```

---

title: The W3C is formed

date: '1994-10-01'

image: false

tags: events

---

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) was founded by Tim Berners-Lee at MIT.

```

## Biography data

I am trying to write reasonable biographies for anyone mentioned. 

These live under `/people` with the following structure:

```

---

name: Rachel Andrew

twitter: rachelandrew

web: https://rachelandrew.co.uk

image: false

tags: people

---

Text biog date here

```

You can create a PR or raise an issue to add data for someone who doesn't have a biography yet, 

correct or add to existing data.
