folks,

we are desperately looking for a sci-mathematics/scilab dedicated
maintainer. none of us in the sci teams have the time for it. 

i did some work for a major bump in the science overlay, but it depends
on many java packages, some of them in the java-experimental overlay.
it has also some bugs and is one of the most voted bump. the good thing
is that upstream is responsive and maintains the debian package.

thanks,
