Thank you Jordi for the heads up.
I think we need to prioritize the Agora project...anyways I updated
the low level I/O entry

http://wiki.octave.org/Summer_of_Code_Project_Ideas#Low-Level_I.2FO

@Andrius: Would you have time to mentor a student? Who else can do it.
My knowledge here is really low!

Cheers

Hey,

thanks for considering me! I would love to, but unfortunately I am unable to dedicate the time that is required for a good mentor due to important deadlines that I have to meet in the following months.

In case GSoC only requires active mentor participation during the summer months, then I would be happy to help.

Best Regards,

Andrius

 

Guys

In view of the topic, can I ask what the status us with the classdef project?  I've seen it mentioned a few times over the last year or so (eg   http://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/interview-with-john-w.-eaton-of-gnu-octave), and it's listed on the project page as being 'underway', but that's all I know. Is this something that could be put into GSoC?

Atb

Duncan
