Sorry, I missed the blog entry from one of the participants http://optional.is/required/2013/09/25/cern-line-mode-browser/ There is this article too from the CERN Website: http://home.web.cern.ch/about/updates/2013/09/dream-team-web-developers-recr...

Hi Skunks,
The outcome of the CERN dev days can be seen here: http://line-mode.cern.ch/ You can actually launch the emulator and visit modern sites with it which will be duly "LMB-fied"
The source code is all open at the repo given earlier. It is important to note that the emulator was written in JavaScript using Node.js as the back-end. Please feel free to play with it and report issues on Github.
One of the participants has written an entry on his Web log based on his experiences over the two days. http://line-mode.cern.ch/
Some of the photos taken during the time are here: http://cds.cern.ch/record/1601994?ln=en and here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/adactio
CHEERS!
Martin.

Hi everyone,
There is a "blank" repository on Github available for those who want to follow up with the progress of this project < https://github.com/cern-hackdays/lmb >
@Thuo, the project is meant to restore the universal line-mode browser as opposed to Lynx. I do not really fault your line of thought. I had also gone along the same route when I heard of the above effort initially i.e a command line http browser. Lynx is 21 years old, LMB is 23 or so hence the need to resurrect it in one form of another since it is practically dead (Lynx is alive). What is special about the LMB as far as I know is that it was the first browser that was portable across several machines at the time. It was not really impressive at the time (no GUIs, no mice or touch-screens, http version 0.9, no DOM, no support for images, videos, client-side scripting, etc) but some people saw a lot of promise in it. The idea is to have something for future generations to see and learn from its emulator, perhaps even extend its source, and experience how far the "Web of things" and its browsers have come.

I might be mistaken but linux *LYNX* has been there since i started pinging ( echo "9yrs"). Actually i used to use it on Redhat 9 where space was an issue and therefore no X-gui. Laptops were no cheap then so you couldn't afford one to carry along.
It's still there to date. Last used it a year or so ago.
