I'd love to see a black banner / bar in her honor.

  I am rooting for this also.

    I’d agree. I read an optimization paper by her in college.

  Agreed. Any Turing Award laureate, let alone the first female Turing Award laureate, deserves a black banner

      Ok, I'll bite. Why?
      • scott31 6y ago
        I don't know why he is doing that, probably money
        • kitd 6y ago
          I meant why do you think he's trying to make the web proprietary. AFAICS he's doing the exact opposite: https://contractfortheweb.org/ https://contractfortheweb.org/

              So no black banner because you can't torrent someone else's hard work.

  As an aside, when there is a black bar, I would also love it to link to the reason it is there.

    Even just a "title" attribute with the name of the person being honored would help sometimes.

    That's a nice idea, like how Google doodles link to some background information.
