        The GNU Octave Repository is intended to be a central location for
        custom scripts, functions and extensions for GNU Octave.

octave-forge is something you install after Octave to get additional
functions.  A lot of these are functions that have been contributed to
octave-sources over the years which we have collected and given a
build/install script.  We have sparse matrices, extended precision numbers,
filter design, interpolation, audio, image processing and optimization
functions among others.

Anyone is welcome to join and contribute functions so long as they license
them to be freely redistributable with modifications.

New users should grab octave-forge immediately so I don't have to keep
telling them about it.  I've answered many a "where is matlab function X"
question with "look in octave-forge".

Old timers already have what they need or they would have contributed it
long ago ;-)
