Dear Jason Shivute,

To me it is not very clear what you are looking for. There is some
information about the project infrastructure [1] and Octave's comprehensive
test suite [2] to avoid regression errors and alike. Current and past
challenges are not really documented. Some generic ones are:

* stay compatible with twice a year releasing Matlab versions,
* adopt progress in the used programming languages (C++11) and tools (qt 5,
gcc 7, python 3, ...), and
* respond to the many bug reports and feature requests.

There are for sure a lot items to add to cope with 25 years of development.

HTH, Kai
