Re: [OctDev] On the union of two communities - The GNU Octave atmosphere

[Júlio Hoffimann]

This post on Carnë's blog summarizes the discussion about Octave/Octave-Forge/Agora
at OctConf2012. A preview of Agora is here http://agora.octave.org/.

HTH,
c.

I see Agora as another level of contribution, namely http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/.

In which users can submit small snippets of code, little functions and doesn't have to even know about coding standards - non-reviewed submissions. A place for users interact by submitting content of any kind, including blog posts, code, feature requests, discussions, etc.

Octave Forge packages on the other hand are much more like MATLAB Toolboxes, they're developed by MathWorks itself, and are part of the software atmosphere, really.
