Please try to avoid the term "Handle Graphics for Octave" since
"Handle Graphics" is a MathWorks trademark.

I would also prefer that you refer to Octave as "Free Software" rather
than "Open Source".  For some reasons, please take a look at
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html.

Also, I think you may mean Matlab (TM) instead of Matlab (C) in your
description at fundable.org.
