Some people talk about "The Winds of Winter" or "Duke Nukem Forever" but I've been waiting almost 20 years for The Architecture of the World Wide Web, Volume Two.

@ndw where is the secret Volume Two being kept? Is it really over 10,000 pages long? I heard a rumour that Ian Jacobs burned the only manuscript in a bonfire in 2014 because he couldn't get the subsection numbering to work exactly like he wanted and Volume Two had to be restarted from scratch. True or false?

@evan Consensus was… difficult. But worthwhile I think.

@evan Email notification suggests you tagged me into this thread, but I can't find the toot. The @tag is still going. Maybe they're working on it.

@ndw yes, I made a joke that Volume Two of the Web Architecture was a lost sequel that has taken decades to work on and is still unfinished, in the manner of some infamous book or film or game sequels, or follow-up albums.
I realized the joke was only funny to me, and since you weren't in on it I shouldn't have tagged you. So I deleted it.
Sorry for the notification!

@evan I'm also curious about that as there is a lot of backlog, so to speak, that can go into a Vol2. I recently wrote about that in my W3C TAG nominee statement: https://www.w3.org/2024/10/tag-nominations#sc

@csarven Oh, neat!
