From the perspective of a user, I don't see any gap between the two groups, if there are really two groups. :-) One more observation from the point of view of a user seeking help. While the separation of core (interpreter + basic things) and packages (applications) for development makes sense, it's not that easy or clear for a (newbie) user to know which list (octave-help or oct-dev) to go to for help. There's in fact a lot of help content in the oct-dev list. Maybe this aspect (of oct-dev) can be merged with the main octave-help, that is, one octave-user (or whatever is a better name) list?
