Tim Berners-Lee: Web Developer

A strikingly accurate description of his contribution!

When we already have so many repos of content, why another initiative towards making a new one? There is HTML5Rocks, MDN and so many others.

HTML5 Rocks content is being upstreamed to WPD. Many expect the long-term to be the same with MDN, though more here on that: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/10/welcoming-the-new-kid-web-...

Regardless, none of these are vendor-neutral right now and they have frustrating overlap. This site is for all of the web.

Their interface is setup more for marketing than it is for utility.

Why haven't they decided to contribute to MDN instead since it already has a lot of good content?

This is horribly broken on my phone, using the stock browser on Android 2.3. Web platform indeed.

Where is APPLE when we need them for once on there.

The following organizations, including Apple, are listed as stewards:

Adobe, Apple, Facebook, Google, HP, Microsoft, Mozilla, Nokia, Opera, W3C

You right, thanks for correcting me.
