Re: Short translation needed

hi Gunnar,

The doubling of world wide is indeed useful, so i'm inclining towards 
“Das World Wide Web weltweit machen”, since i guess most German-speaking 
folks will understand.

Would it help to aim for "Putting the worldwide into the World Wide 
Web!" ?  Maybe not.
