this is sort of the same difference we envision between different parts of Agora it should be formed of 1) contributions from independent developers either in the form of single files or full packages that are simply "dumped" on agora so users can download them (similar to matlabcentral but with more stress on freedom, thus no restrictive terms of use) 2) a set of "core" packages developed/maintained by (or in strict collaboration with) developers of Octave itself, following GNU coding and licensing directives. This latter part will probably be named "the Forge" or something similar and sounds to me like it is very similar to what you are asking for. Suggestions regarding which packages should be part of the Forge have been collected on this list some time ago, I'm sure you'll find them if you google for it. > Júlio. c. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How fast is your code? 3 out of 4 devs don\\\'t know how their code performs in production.
