[Oberon] more attention and a larger community?

[Douglas G. Danforth]

When one writes a book, writes code, or builds anything one needs to ask
who and what is the audience?  If it is for yourself then nothing more 
needs to
be said.  But if it is for other people then who are those other people 
and what
are their needs and desires?  If it is just for the handful of 
individuals that are
now interacting on this mailing list then agreement is all that is 
necessary.  But
if it is for a wider audience then what is that audience?  Do they want 
it or need it?
Do they conform to you or do you conform to them?
