Hi guys,

Thanks a lot for all of your support.

Carnë, I guess I could start with functions for image registration and
geometric transformation. I am also interested in other things you
mentioned to me. If I really decide to work on these, I will discuss
with you first.

>From the list([1] http://wiki.octave.org/Image_package), I found there
were quite some functions yet to be implemented in the image package.
Are they all very necessary? What is the priority? How do we decide
which one to implement in general? It's driven by needs?

For the coming two days, I will take a deeper look at the image
package and related functions in octave,  also check ML's realated
packages, to see how everything is organized, and maybe come up with a
plan. I have no experience of open source development within a public
community. I consider getting on the SOCIS project is an extra bonus.
More importantly, I just need to get me started here with Octave.

Cheers,

Dennis
