Thank you for reporting it! :D @Jose: You know you can edit the help of these functions yourself? Let me know if you do not know and need some help to ge the hands on it. If we do this, then you can send us the respective correction. In that way you will be helping GNU Octave to get better! At the same time you will getting the hands of how to write documentation and functions for Octave, with some luck we will have you(!) among the usual contributors in no time. Cheers -- M. Sc.

Let's say that I have an intuition about how to do it, but no "official" instructions (which I'd like to have, yes). > If we do this, then you can send us the respective correction.

Even better than explaining me, it would be nice to write it down in a wiki or alike, so it can be used as a reference to others ;). And if that is available already, please point me to the right place so that I can read it :). Sometimes finding things about octave in the web pages is really tricky ;). BR Jose |

You can use this function if you copy on top of the old one (or rename the old one to *_old.m), but be careful because it may require other new functions. Anyway, you can get the latest and coolest version of any package from that site. - Once you have the newest version of the function, check if it still has the bug you found. If it doesn't somebody solved it already. If the problem still there go on an fix it! - Once you have fixed the bug, you can send a patch with your changes. How do you this? Start another thread or read the relevant parts of the documentation of "diff" and "patch"(http://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/manual/diffutils.html). === Another way === You can also checkout the package in question using svn. For example if you wan to checkout the general package you would run > svn co https://octave.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/octave/trunk/octave-forge/main general general_to_debug This will create a folder "general_to_debug" in your current directory. You can hack away as much as you can and then produce the patch and send it to the mailing list. === New files or buch of files === There is a third way of contributing to Octave.Lets say you do not want to be a developer but you have one or a bunch of functions you want to share with us. You can use the Features request forum (this willbe also replaced by Agora when it is up and running) https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=2888&atid=352888 Upload your file (compressed if it is more than one) and lets us know that you did it by sending a mail to the mailing list. If there is anybody interested they will look at your code and give you suggestions. Speed up that process by adding a GPL compatible license (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FSF-approved_software_licenses) == Being a Forger == If you want to be one of us, you can also request to be a Forge developer (name may change) following the instructions here http://octave.sourceforge.net/developers.html Let us know if there are more questions Looking forward for your next contribution -- M.

Thanks for the explanations, octave has one less secret for me now ;). About putting this to the wiki, I definitely think that this should be easily accessible, so I would put it in the wiki. In general I think that having instructions on the wiki for people that want to cooperate is good. Please, write them yourself there. What I can do is, once that I follow your instructions (from the wiki), I will complete them (if necessary) with detailed commands or comments that helped me as a new collaborator :) BR Jose |
