Thanks, Pete,
Wiki didn't seem to have that mention, though I found this one about www:
In 1989, while working at CERN <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CERN>, Tim
Berners-Lee <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee> invented a
network-based implementation of the hypertext concept. By releasing his
invention to public use, he ensured the technology would become
widespread.^[60]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Internet#cite_note-59> For
his work in developing the World Wide Web, Berners-Lee received the
Millennium technology prize
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_technology_prize> in 2004.^[61]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Internet#cite_note-60> One
early popular web browser, modeled after HyperCard
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperCard>, was ViolaWWW
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ViolaWWW>.

Hmm. Not that it matters greatly, but that article rather neglects the
contribution of the physics community, and HEPNET (High Energy Physics
Net). It didn't have a large footprint, but it was the source of a
disproportionate amount of supporting software, such as the www.
