I could spend some time on documentation. Before anyone spends a lot of 
time on it, it would make sense to determine future directions in 
documentation. There are a few issues I can think of:
- Should material from the wiki be periodically merged into the main 
octave manual, or vice versa, or should they remain separate?
- What about good documentation of the C++ interface? That "Da Coda al 
Fine" document is a good start, but there's much more that could be 
added, including some things that are on the wiki. Does it make sense to 
add all of this material to the main manual in a new C++ section?
- What about the foreign language issues that were recently discussed on 
this list? Would changes to octave to accomodate this substantially 
alter how the documentation is maintained?
