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.
