SLAC's Web Wizards
This page lists (and links to) unpublished documents and presentations by the SLAC WWW Wizards about the early SLAC Web. It is by no means a comprehensive list of the work of these individuals, who have all written and presented extensively on other topics in their fields.
A scanned collection of the early papers of the SLAC WWW Wizards is available online. (SLAC AHO 2000-072)
