My boss is Tony Johnson. He helped with SLAC's first website (first website in the US, and also the first database driven website) and wrote MidasWWW. Among other things, he mentioned going to the first web conference (where he met everyone TBL, Marc Andreesen, etc...), attended by only 25 or so people, where they wrote out how HTML forms would work on a board. There's lots of information online about SLACs history in the web and some sparse information otherwise, but he'd be happy to answer questions about the early web too. You can also read through the WWW mailing lists, but I think some of what is there is incomplete.
