There has been too much tinkering with Oberon.<br>
Too many flavors and versions.<br>
<br>
I would much prefer to see a site dedicated to the use of Oberon<br>
(vanilla flavored). I would like to see the applications that have<br>
been generated using Oberon. What companies are and have been<br>
using Oberon. The size of an application, as to the complexity that<br>
it addresses.<br>
