Kai, unless I'm confusing identities here, JohnD does the majority of 
the work on mxe-octave so I guess the discussion would be internal.  :-)

JohnD, yes, we are looking at moving more toward being an aggregator of 
package info rather than directly hosting package development and 
blessing and releasing packages as a collection.  The idea is to lower 
the barrier of entry for people to post their collections of functions 
somewhere, and to eliminate the perception that the Octave developers 
are somehow responsible for tracking bugs and maintaining all the 
contributed packages.

(Please correct me if this statement doesn't accurately represent the 
conclusions of our recent meeting.)
