- Comment http://obol.sourceforge.net/ lists some publications at the bottom, including this Dr. Dobbs article. Project seems to be dead. Not sure if its worth keeping or merging. Have to look into it further. —Ruud 11:40, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- Comment. I found a paragraph on this in Middleware for Communications (p36). It looks like it may be notable, but I'm not sure yet. The Dr. Dobb's article listed above is by someone at the University of Tromsø, so I assume it's not independent. (Looks like this is Dr. Dobb's normal practice.) — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 13:52, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
- Weak delete. I also found this thesis which appears to be entirely about Obol given the English abstract. However, it seems to be a master's thesis rather than a PhD thesis, and so not counted as WP:RS, although I'd be happy to be corrected about that if anyone knows better. I found quite a few papers written by the Obol authors, but nothing else. I would be willing to change to keep if anyone can find another good source, however. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 14:28, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
