Dear all, 

I am willing to contribute to the geometry package as a part of the GSOC .

I have created a bitbucket repo ( https://bitbucket.org/amr_keleg/octave-geometry ) to share my code there for reviews.

The repo has three branches :
upstream - default - stable . 
Should i add my future scripts to the default branch?

Regards,

I think the preferred method is for you to start a “feature branch” where you put a well-defined portion of your work in a branch and then make a “pull-request” to the maintainer (see http://wiki.octave.org/Mercurial for the different ways of submitting changes). 

I personally like the feature-branch and pull-request method of working the best. It keeps things well defined, isolated, and it is easy to just give a commit id from your repository to the maintainer to pull the changes into the octave-forge default branch.
