Can I ask you to re-articulate your goal?

For example,

	1.  I want to make money and Oberon has a mix of novelty and completeness that may work.
	2.  I want to publish an electronic book and I think that Oberon may be a good medium.
	3.  I like Oberon and want to grow the user base to make its existance more assured.
	4.  I like to tinker and wish my hobby could financially support itself.
	5.  I think society would be safer if software were based on well engineered open sourced systems.
	6.  I want to write a custom web server for a research project,
		e.g., http://www.jump.net/~vima/GRC, and Oberon appears to be the
		best environment to complete the project.
