Contract for the Web

It’s hard for me to believe that an effort like this is going to have a real impact on the web and how companies act on it. I'd like to, but I’m very skeptical of it. Perhaps with the pedigree of Tim Berners-Lee it has a better chance. For more background on this, his opinion article in the New York Times is a good overview. The Guardian also has a good overview, "Tim Berners-Lee unveils global plan to save the web". At least he's trying, and hopefully others will get on board.
