Package Contribution Procedure and Best Way to Interpret Name, Value Arguments?

[Chris Adams]

Hello,

I'd like to contribute to octave by writing some of the missing functions. I've just finished statelevels, patch #9199.

Question 1)

What's the proper procedure for submitting these functions? I've uploaded an m file and nothing else. Is anything else needed?

Question 2)

Now that statelevels exists, I can write dutycycle. This function will have a few Name,Value variable arguments. Is there a standard way to interpret these?

B/W,

Chris
