[OctDev] new release

[Paul K. <pki...@ja...>]

Okay, I finally got a new release out.

Our page views are still going up for some reason despite our inactivity.
Maybe that's due to the categorical index being there.  I'm amused to see
that a google search for e.g., ellipke lists octave-forge in the first
page.  Someone with the time and the skills might want to make it look
and feel better, because right now it is a bit awkward and ugly.  

We already display the source to the function if it is in octave-forge
by linking directly to CVS page.  We could do this for the octave functions
as well using http://www.octave.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/octave.

Right now I have to manually rebuild the index which means it only gets
done for octave-forge releases.  We might be able to do this automatically
on the source-forge server if the proper tools are available.

Any takers?

Moving the octave wiki to source forge could increase our 
page views (except we might have to put some content into it).

As for download statistics, tracking new octave releases with binaries
for windows and red hat would do it without too much real work.
