Hypertext allows document creators to insert links and names to point to other relevant items.
This proposal introduced the ideas of hypertext, the foundation of the world wide web. Berners-Lee had to recirculate his proposal in May 1990, it was not taking off as he had hoped. It was not until November 1990 that he developed an initial program on his NeXT machine. The line-mode browser was released by anonymous FTP to the general public in January 1992. The WWW project was setup to facilitate communication between high energy physicists.
