True. But I have the impression it is not obvious for most useres how  
to contribute code or improved documentation in a way that will be  
useful and acceptable to the 'inner circle' of Octave developers.  
Maybe a short document 'Contributing to Octave for dummies' would be  
useful. Or, if such a thing exists already, moving this to a  
prominent place would be in order.

Thinking of it, I might be open to contribute to the documentation a  
bit. I guess the plotting stuff is one area that really needs  
improvement. But how do I go about this?
