Website Updates

[Bill Denney]

So, I've been thinking of several things that need updating on the 
website-- some of which I can do, some of which I don't know the info to 
put in.

First, I'd like to have a page for the related projects.  There are 
several GUI and plotting projects currently in the works, and I'd like to 
have them mentioned on the website so that these projects can be easily 
known and/or found.  So, for maintainers of related projects, can you 
please send the following information (if you think that there is more 
relevant information then let me know):

What kind of project is yours (gui, plotting, etc)?
What is the website or how can someone get the code?
What is the version of your code?
Please also include a paragraph describing your project.

Second, I'd like to update the projects page 
(http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/projects.html).  This was 
autogenerated from projects.texi apparently, so the place to start with 
this would be finding then cleaning up projects.texi.  If it does not 
exist (I couldn't find it by searching the CVS of the website or the 
source), then I'd like to start to clean up what's there and update it.

Third, I'd like to have improved instructions for installation on Mac and 
Windows on the website (this may be a better choice for the wiki, but I'd 
like an official version somewhere).  I recall seeing a couple of links 
recently for instructions that covered Mac and Windows independently. 
Would the people who put those up be willing to let me use them (with 
minor modifications, primarily formatting).

Also, if anyone would like to help with maintaining the web pages, please 
let John and me know.  I'm working to bring the pages up to date, but it 
would be nice in the future to have maintenance handled by several people 
so that there is not just one person who is the webmaster but a team.

Bill
