Michael Grimes’s Summary

Although I've only had the job title since 2002(!), I've actually been responsible for the Citizenship Foundation website since its inception (1997 or 1998, I can't remember). I read the html 3 and 4 specs(!) and during the dark days of the Browser Wars I sweated blood trying to get CSS to work at all, let alone across different browsers. I'm loving the giant steps that are still being made in standards development.
