Working on nnet package

[vrozos]

The development of the NNET package by the original author, Michael Schmid,
stopped in 2010. Three years ago Francesco Faccio [1] volunteered to
continue the development. However, NNET is still stuck on version 0.1.13,
Last Release Date: 2010-12-02. As a result, the recent changes in Octave and
the deprecation of some functions (e.g. finite) have render this package
broken. This is a shame. NNET is not state of the art, but it is the only
readily available option for NN in Octave. Currently, it is useless to the
average Octave user only because of some very minor issues.

I would like to contribute to this package doing some minor development
regarding the amount of work, but critical regarding the functionality (e.g.
replace deprecated functions and symbols, improve documents, etc.).

I am familiar with Mercurial and Github, but I don't know how Sourceforge
works.

Regards

Evangelos Rozos
