"It will have resources for teachers to help them train students with critical skills. It will have information you just can't get anywhere else, and it will have it all in one place," says the blog.

'Stewards' of the site, organisations deemed as influencers on the web, include Apple, Facebook, Google, Adobe, HP, Microsoft, Mozilla, Nokia and Opera. However, it is headed up by the World Wide Web Consortium, which is Berners-Lee's international community that works on web standards.

The blog says: "The stewards, those organisations who have put so much into this so far, are going to keep putting people, content, money, and effort into the site. But they are doing so as peers, with the same privileges available to anyone else who builds up trust and becomes a site admin."

There is one sticking point though. The site is still in alpha release and Berners-Lee recognises that it doesn't yet provide the resources that it aims to in the future.

"There is much to do, and we think that the best way to achieve our goal of comprehensive, up-to-date, and useful site is to enable the entire community to shape it, to meet our needs together," says the blog.
