Btw, right now, a major release is coming soon, so we're in a sort of
bug-fixing state (and discussing what's a bug and what isn't :)
There'll be plenty of room for new projects afterwards. I can share
some of my plans if you're interested.I think a good way to start is
to find something you'd wish to improve, then discuss that on the
mailing list. That's how I started anyway.

Another great way to help Octave is to write high quality packages for
OctaveForge.
