Re: Update Octave Wiki for Mac OS X Build Instructions

[Todd Rovito]

Thanks for the help Ben!

Maybe I am totally missing something but every time I try to edit a

request for the password to the octave-dev at lists.sourceforge.net.
I am assuming that octave-maintainers replaced the octave-dev list?
