  Excuse me for my snoopyness, but I am just curious about how Octave
is developed (I had a look at the "funding page") : do you work
full-time on Octave, or do you also do some research/teaching? Does
anyone work full-time/part-time/contractually on the code? How
big/small is the budget for material/coding/research? 

  Also, after a "funding form" is received, do you destroy the credit
card information? That would be a reassuring measure.

  Etienne
