At least back in 2004, the Oz documentation was sufficiently problematic that I wrote a VirtualManual[1].
> Mozart/Oz has a lot of documentation. Many documents, papers, lecture notes, etc, and several web pages which list them. And subjects are often discussed in several documents. This page attempts to integrate the documentation, saying "for subject foo, see these n sources".
I expect the links are mostly rotted now.
The scattered fragmentation of the documentation was tolerable once you were familiar with both the language and its documents. But for new users, especially those without the Oz textbook, it was a serious barrier. Glad to hear it's now much better.
Thank you for the reminder of all this -- my anonymously-editable Oz wiki was still running, gathering unindexed spam. Static partial snapshot now. Activity moved to an official wiki a decade ago. Perhaps sometime, I'll look to see if any of its other pages, were also still linked to or used, or of possible historical interest, and restore them too. Thanks again.
