RE: The future of my involvement with the Octave project

[Joshua Stults]

John,

Have you thought about a raising a round of funding from the
community?  The Blender developers used the Rational Street Performer
protocol (http://www.logarithmic.net/pfh/rspp) to raise funds to open
source their code.  Maybe the Octave community would be game to raise
some money to keep you gainfully employed working on Octave (much to
our collective benefit).

You could even implement the calculations needed to figure out
everyone's contribution in Octave!

Best wishes (from a happy Octave user),
Josh
