Re: GSoC - Octave code sharing

[Sahil]

Thanks a lot, Kai and Ankit for your valuable comments and suggestions. I've
changed the timeline a bit with needed changes. 
Now for  the summary part:

The second week that you see (point 3) has which adds the "wiki" as an
output_format in publish() will not exactly span the complete week and so
libCURL will effectively get almost two weeks there. I do not think that I
should be giving the first two weeks only to libCURL wrapper because from
June 1 to June 10, there won't be any progress and so I think there should
at least be something significant work done before the first evaluation.
Maybe I'll start early with the implementation of wrapper before May 13
itself so that I get more time to focus on the wrapper?

What exactly are we trying to do here? Will it be setting up a new wiki page
on wiki.octave.org or has it something to do with this kind of MediaWiki[3]
installation? If latter, how will we be communicating to the wiki pages on
wiki.octave.org then? I'm sorry but I'm a bit confused here.

Should I add this to timeline to implement jsonencode and jsondecode because
these look like a higher priority than the RESTful MATLAB compatible
interface functions? 

And kindly mark the comments on Google doc as 'resolved' if you think the
query is resolved.
