I would certainly support this. While we can all have our personal copy it seems strange that ETHZ are removing this evidence of Professor Wirth's work. In their place I'd want to celebrate it! To my everlasting regret I never met Professor Worth (the only Oberon day I attended he did not!), but buying a copy of Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs in the 80s was one of the most important purchases in my computing career.

Dear Arthur Thanks for this great idea, which i would support. In a short we could write (maybe an Email out of the oberon-list): ~~~ Dear ETH-Management Unfortunately, Prof. Dr. Dr. hc mult Niklaus Wirth passed away at the beginning of the year. His honorable work leaves behind important insights and results in the field of programming languages and operating systems. This is particularly relevant with regard to further digitization (see also ETH's strategy on digitization and excellence). As interested international members of the Oberon List, we therefore request that at least the website on Prof. Wirth's findings be maintained (a webinar series on the topic would also be nice).

Wait, can we try to force ETH to restore the page? The person just died this year and they are deleting the highly referenced and nice-to-use website? Those are just a few HTML and other files. Shall we write a collective letter to ETH.

Notes about the A2 Oberon repository at ETHZ.

Hello All, To be more palatable for a novice external to ETHZ, I've just overhauled the notes between headings https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/A2#The_A2_Repositories and https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/A2#Git_in_a_Unix-like_System . Feedback from anyone who reads the few lines can be helpful. Writing something which baffles a reader is too easy; fresh eyes can help. Thanks! ... P.
