As someone else already mentioned, a good site for contributed functions
would be octave.sourceforge.net

What should be done, IMHO, is that all the useful and Octave compatible
m-files, oct-files, patches etc. floating around the net are deposited to
the CVS at sourceforge. Then there's at least a central point for getting
all the useful stuff and perhaps the development will be easier too.

I'm using contributed functions from Paul Kienzle, Etienne Grossman and
others daily and without them octave would be much more limited in
functionality. New users should be able to get a same kind of collection
of working (and hopefully peer-reviewed and maintained) set of m-files
without spending ages using search engines and going through all the
sites existing today.

If the person maintaining the sourceforge site is too busy and no one
else volunteers, I could perhaps start doing this.
