Hello All, As I make this post to W3C Web History Community Group but still find its status "Pending" then I decide to send it to public-webhistory@w3c.org: What is it about when we type “www” before “gutenberg”? The first is about a contemporary information and communication technology manifested by the internet; while the latter reminds us about a printing technology –as something coming from 15 century (for a reference to “Gutenberg” http://newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Johannes_Gutenberg/).Michael Hart himself did not mention about the origin of the name usage –“gutenberg”– at least in his presentation on the history and philosophy of Project Gutenberg (http://gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:The_History_and_ Philosophy_of_Project_Gutenberg_by_Michael_Hart/). On both we may talk about text productions. Thus we find www.gutenberg.org as a historical situation of technologies. What should we name it…? — could we say about a poetry on technologies for the allusions it made…? Regard, (Note: there is a "cc" to Project Gutenberg Library Archive Foundation.)
