1989 was the original proposal date.  1991 was when the software was released
on the Net.  The first Web server was launched in 1990.

Here's a question I bet this group can answer in a flash:

 

Various sources show either 1989 or 1991 as the date for the "birth of the
web".  Apparently Tim Berners-Lee supports the 1989 date.

 

Does anyone have more of the story?  Does the 1991 date have any significance
(eg, some major release date) or is it simply wrong.

 

Thanks,

Phill Gross
