Numerical Mathematics Consortium

[Javier Arantegui]

Hello,

Today I learnt that a Numerical Mathematics Consortium (1) haved been 
established on August 9. The founding members of the consortium are 
Maplesoft, Mathsoft, National Instruments and INRIA (makers of SciLab).

(1) http://www.nmconsortium.org/

The main goals of the consortium are:
* Provide a fundation that facilitates the reuse of numerical math algorithms
* Standardize definitions, semantics, etc.
* Help users to interpret and reuse algorithms
* Facilitate the use of these algorithms for embedded and real-time targets.

I think that it's quite importat that the Octave development team were part of 
this consortium to let the Octave comunity voice be heard.

I'd like to know if there is any action planned in this direction.

Javier
