It could be coincidence, or maybe the SF folks did read our discussion, but I just received a SourceForge newsletter with this stanza:# Community Choice Project of the Month for July - It's a Tie! # For one of the July "Community Choice" Projects of the Month, the community elected Octave-Forge ( http://newsletter.sourceforge.net/ct.html?ufl=7&rtr=on&s=x8pb08,2a871,10s8,edko,673m,aphm,bd0b ), a central location for the collaborative development of packages for GNU Octave, a high-level interpreted language. The Octave-Forge packages expand Octave's core functionality by providing field specific features via Octave's package system. Some of the individual Octave-Forge packages include: image and signal processing, fuzzy logic, instrument control, and statistics packages. Download Octave-Forge now.

The community choice award is a joke. There have been four (!) votes in a discussion thread [1] buried deep within sourceforge, which have lead to this award. Nominees are taken from the “Featured projects of the week” lists of that month with the most downloads.
