FWIW, according to Tim Berners-Lee's "A Little History of the World Wide Web" it was first on 6 August 1991 that Tim first invited the world to use the web (via email on alt.hypertext).

The Internationalization Working Group has published the following seven Draft Notes:

Mongolian Script Resources
Korean Script Resources
Georgian Script Resources
Ethiopic Script Resources
Devanagari Script Resources
Bengali Script Resources
Cyrillic Script Resources

On 6 August 1991 Tim Berners-Lee invited the world to use an "easy but powerful global information system” - the World Wide Web.

The power of the web, of using technology to connect and share information, has changed all our lives.

#aboutW3C

Tim Berners-Lee invented the Web and Vint Cerf invented the Internet. Some people often talk about one but mean the other.

They once wore custom-made t-shirts to help identify which invention was theirs! #aboutW3C
