Hello,

From: Kai...@t-... (Kai Habel)
#  So, we are a few registered developers now, what are our next steps? I
#  have reread the recent thread 'User Functions' on octave-help (~ 10.
#  october). All seems to agree to move the matcompat scripts (assembled by
#  Paul) to sourceforge, right?

#  First we have to setup a cvs archive structure, Here is my suggestion

#  + matcompat
#  |    + m
#  |    | + audio
#  |    | + general
#  |    | + ...
#  |    |
#  |    + dld
#  |    |   + audio ???
#  |    |   + ...
#  |    |
#  |    + libs ???
#  |
#  + contrib
#       + m
#       | + audio
#       | + ...
#       |
#       + dld
#       |  + audio ???
#       |  + ...
#       |
#       + libs ???
#
#  As you can see I would like to separate the functions in matlab
#  compatible and noncompatible. Comments?
#
#  When we have the structure, I would like to start commiting with new
#  versions of my own scripts to get familiar with cvs.

  You mean we should decide what the subdirs are? I have something
like this (where I omit some directories that are of interest just for
me, and directories containing test functions). 

./general
./......./optim
./......./rot
./tools
./...../dumper
./...../graphics
./...../imgio
./...../...../images.all
./...../...../test_images
./...../matcompat
./...../misc
./...../strings
./...../struct
./...../vrml

  I agree that "tools" (not numeric stuff; well, graphics is numeric)
is not a pretty name, but it means what it means. Another possibility
is to clone octave's structure, which has a lot (too many?) "root"
directories :

./audio
./control
./......./base
./......./hinf
./......./obsolete
./......./system
./......./util
./elfun
./finance
./general
./image
./io
./linear-algebra
./miscellaneous
./plot
./polynomial
./quaternion
./set
./signal
./specfun
./special-matrix
./startup
./statistics
./........../base
./........../distributions
./........../models
./........../tests
./strings
./time

  Maybe a ad-hoc classification in numeric/non-numeric and in
general/specific?

                     general                      specific

  numeric            polynomials                  finance
                     optimization                 computer-vision
                     statistics                   graphics
                     elfun                        signal
                     specfun                      
                     linear-algebra
                     misc

  non-numeric        strings                      vrml
                     plot
                     img-io
                     io
                     misc
                     time

  
  and the same for dlds? 

  Cheers,

  Etienne
