1 Hi folks,
2
3 As some of you guys should know, I'm Rafael Martins, a brazilian student
4 working for Gentoo in the Google Summer of Code.

6 My project is g-Octave (Improve the Octave/Matlab support), and I'm almost
7 done with the release of the version 0.2, that comes with support for the
8 installation of packages from the octave-forge SVN repository and scripts to
9 create new package databases for the stable versions, using the SVN history
10 (octave-forge no more ships a big tarball with the latest stable version of
11 all the packages).
12
13 At this point I'm fixing some broken stuff that resulted from the
14 implementation of the SVN support, testing and writing some documentation.
15 The new version should be out in a day or two.
16
17 On the other hand, my mentor (Calchan) is having some problems in the personal
18 side and I'm without a primary mentor until the fellow GSoC admins find
19 another to me. In the next days I'll ask here for sugestions about my project
20 and more details about what is done and the plans for the future.

22 Thanks.
