Mozilla’s vision for the evolution of the Web

I do love that Mozilla continues to focus on the core tenets of what the web should be.

Our vision starts with three basic values for the Web, rooted in the Mozilla Manifesto:

• Openness: Everyone can access the Web, and use it to reach others.
• Agency: Once individuals reach the Web, they are empowered to accomplish their goals effectively and on their own terms.
• Safety: The experience of using the Web must not put individuals in danger.

I admire and concur with all of this, particularly the goal to "Make it easy for anyone to publish on the Web". The web was envisioned from the very beginning by Tim Berners-Lee to be a read-write medium. That web pages could be easily edited using the same tool that you use to read. Wiki's come close to this ideal, but the web as a whole has become harder to publish, and perhaps more importantly, self-publish on. I’m not talking about posting on some giant technology companies social media site. I’m talking about my own website, my own words, my own rules.
