1) Is the Mozart implementation efficient with regards to memory management? Execution speed doesn't have to super high, just adequate.
I'm not an expert on that, but from my experience I would say that Mozart's memory behavior is not unreasonable. The answer probably depends on your expectations. In the Oz menu in emacs, you can "Open Panel" and select the Memory tab and make some interactive experiments yourself.
5) Is there still good support for Mozart? In other words, if I find a problem in Mozart, can someone assist me in fixing the problem?
I think it's safe to predict that in a couple of years from now, the Oz/Mozart community will still be orders of magnitude smaller compared to other more mainstream languages. However, in my experience the community has always been very friendly and helpful. You will probably find very few problems in Mozart.
The solution should work on linux and windows with a preference to linux. The document management system will include a web server, web-interface for accessing the document store, connecting to a database server (MySQL / PostgreSQL). I want to develop as much as possible in Oz, only using the FFI if it is really necessary. The document management system will later be adapted to be distributed, but still function as a logical unit, transparently to the user, making the solution very scalable.
Since you mention documents, web server and database/MySQL, I recommend you have a look at MBase, a system I had been working on some years ago. It's a database for mathematical documents in OMDoc format, mostly GPL-licensed, for Linux: http://www.ags.uni-sb.de/~mbase/releases/mbase-dev-linux-i486.precompiled.tgz After running the "./setup" script, the instructions on http://www.mathweb.org/mbase/download.html should work. Getting it ready to play with should only be a matter of 5-10 minutes, assuming a fast internet connection.
