I am not saying that Roberto Porcù is not the best student for this project,
too. I hope to have not been plaintive, I was just a bit surprised that he
has been preferred even if I provided a fix to a not so trivial bug (showing
at least my skill to get inside octave source code even if I started from
scratch) whilst he did not posted any contribute. Probably he owns a better
knowledge on the project subject, as he stated, however it is difficult to
evaluate because he did not provide any link in his application.
