Excellent for documenting the systems.  The svn repository works 
nicely for A2.  Thanks ETH!

As I understand, Griem is referring to Oberon 2013 (RISC Oberon?).  
There is no shared vehicle for bringing extant modules into RISC 
Oberon.  Bringing Gerard Meunier's RX to Oberon 2013 for example.

Similarly there is no shared vehicle for incorporating bug fixes and 
syntax updates into PC Native.  Hypothetically, NO could evolve to 
RISC syntax. 

An Oberon Book is likely a "tough sell" in Wikibooks.
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Using_Wikibooks/Starting_A_New_Wikibook
has "Books that are just collections of related information ... are 
not acceptable on Wikibooks."  But an Oberon Book could exist elsewhere.  
Why not?

Best Regards,             ... Peter E.
