[ih] anybody know the history of the group at NCSA that developed Mosaic & HTTPd?

[Vint Cerf]

you should talk to Marc! The effort was not sanctioned as an NCSA project
any more than was the WWW at CERN. It was a kind of skunkworks project that
really got a lot of attention when it was released. Jim Clark, then CEO of
Silicon Graphics, came to NCSA and persuaded Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina
(and others?) to come to Silicon Valley to start Netscape Communications in
1994.
