You have over-trimmed your reply a bit, so I cannot tell for sure to<br>
whom you are replying.<br>
<br>
It may just be me, but I find that wikidot site short on solid<br>
information and it has not been updated in a long time. Is there a<br>
mailing list or other community anywhere where this particular project<br>
is discussed?<br>
<br>
Some of my questions:<br>

all targets should run well on framebuffer, X11 and over network via ssh -X .

OLR will likely not get much more development. I am currently evaluating porting Project Oberon to ARM32 Linux and WebAssembly.
