Re: Octave 2006 Call for Papers

[Andy Adler]

Hi Paul,

Some of us are planning to collaboratively write papers for this
conference. For example, David Bateman and I will write about
octave sparse matrices.

In order to efficiently do that, we would like to put the *.tex
source in CVS.

One idea would be to put the papers in a new project in octave-forge.
This would have the advantage that the various common style files
for the octave conference could be kept for all papers so that
a template Makefile could be written.

What I propose is

octave.sf.net /
    octave-forge /
        ...
    octave-lang /
        ...
    octave-conference /
        2006 /
            papers /
                author1-author2 /
                    ...
                more-papers /
                    ...
                common /
                    *.sty , etc.

May I do this?
