[Oberon] Project Oberon Hardware

[Felix Friedrich]

In case you wonder about the unfriendly "Authentication Required" dialog 
appearing at https://svn.inf.ethz.ch/svn/lecturers/a2/:
- The A2 repository at ETH is publicly accessible. You can start here: 
http://trac.inf.ethz.ch/trac/lecturers/a2
- Similar for ocp, the http address here is http://www.ocp.inf.ethz.ch/wiki/

Regards
Felix

>> One central Oberon web-site / Wiki / forum / repository would be

> As Wirth and others stress repeatedly, the ultimate documentation
> is the source itself.  Also, the success of Wikipedia and Wikibooks
> is undeniable.   A Talk page allows resolution of many of the
> divergences.  Vandalism is restrained by the history and the editing
> controls.  The Web interface is no barrier to casual reading.
>
> Hence my question.  Can an Oberon wiki book exist?  The answer must
> depend on these sub-questions at least.
>    Benefits?
>    Technically feasible?
>    Will authors permit it?
>
> An obvious benefit is potential for incorporation of modules from NO.
> Eventually compile Oberon 2013 for i386 and other hardware.
>
> MediaWiki is open source.  Therefore, at a technical level, an Oberon book
> might exist at the ETH or at another server as well as at wikibooks.org.
> Technically feasible?  Yes in my view.
>
> What about permissions?
