:> In "marketing" WWW, it's important that information be accessible to
:> *folks who are not yet on the Web*. I've suggested to TimBL
:> that CERN run a tiny Gopher for this purpose, with perhaps a single
:> descriptive document, a Telnet Lynx session, and a GIF screen image from
:> Mosaic. This newsgroup layout would be similarly accessible to the
:> masses who haven't yet seen the Web, while splitting off the voluminous
:> developer dialogue.

There is now a gopher server at info.cern.ch dedicated to WWW presentation !
(HREF="gopher://info.cern.ch/")

It is new and surely has plenty of omissions. Please mail them to
www-request@info.cern.ch, as well as places where to pick up screen dumps
of new products.
