Hi all,

There is a project that has been running for the past one week at CERN, Geneva Switzerland to restore the origins of the distributed World-Wide Web system. It ended successfully last week with the deployment of a working emulator for the Nexus (originally named the World-Wide Web - www) browser for members of the general public https://home.cern/news/news/computing/developers-revive-first-web-browser-week-long-hackathon

Personal notes from one of the developers, Remy Sharp:
