Hello,

I have no objection to adding a section on Experimental Oberon on http://www.ocp.inf.ethz.ch/wiki/OCP/Downloads. However, I don't have the password to edit that site, so feel free to add to the site if you have access to its editing function. A section on "Experimental Oberon" could look something along the lines of:

Experimental Oberon------------------------Revision of the original Oberon operating system (2013 Edition, as described on http://projectoberon.com), containing a number of simplifications, generalizations and enhancements to the functionality, the module structure and the boot process, including:
1. Continuous fractional line scrolling with variable line spaces2. Multiple logical display areas (virtual displays)3. Streamlined viewer message type hierarchy4. Unified viewer concept5. Refined module structure6. Simplified boot process7. Rudimentary system building tools8. Tools to modify the Oberon inner core
Experimental Oberon can be found here:

A description of the differences between Experimental Oberon an Original Oberon can be found here:

To make your work more accessible, a section in http://www.ocp.inf.ethz.ch/wiki/OCP/Downloads ?  Something such as this for example.
Experimental Oberon  (or Experiments with Oberon?)https://github.com/andreaspirklbauerExperiments with module structure, boot process, display multiplicity, text layout and fractional scrolling. 
Anyone object to including such new section?  How do you state the description?
