Dear Robert, dear All,

I have wanted to offer the forum http://zx.oberon2.ru/forum/ for this
purpose. And although some people think that the forum, which is
available on the domain .ru, only for Russian-speaking people, it is not
true. Oberon has no nationality. It was born in Switzerland, but it's
good for people who speak all the languages of the World. And I was able
to get the subdomain name "zx.oberon2.ru" (I was accepted to live there).

Topics of the forum are all Oberon dialects and any Oberon technologies
(and beyond that - Modula-2, Modula-3 languages). Russian language is
not necessary. A man with the nickname slenkar (he doesn't know Russian)
came to the forum and he fully uses all forum's features without any
problems.

So I'm actually surprised inattention of world Oberon community to the
forum. I'm doing a forum not only for the Russians.

But in order not to embarrass anybody by using domain .ru, I still
consider the possibility of moving the forum into another domain name.
But we need to find sponsors to buy a domain name. I have experience in
administration of the forum and I can offer my services. But I do not
see myself make sense to have one forum dedicated to Oberon, and make
another forum dedicated to Oberon.

Now your comments?

Thanks.
