As someone else already mentioned, a good site for contributed functions would be octave.sourceforge.net What should be done, IMHO, is that all the useful and Octave compatible m-files, oct-files, patches etc. floating around the net are deposited to the CVS at sourceforge. Then there's at least a central point for getting all the useful stuff and perhaps the development will be easier too. I'm using contributed functions from Paul Kienzle, Etienne Grossman and others daily and without them octave would be much more limited in functionality. New users should be able to get a same kind of collection of working (and hopefully peer-reviewed and maintained) set of m-files without spending ages using search engines and going through all the sites existing today. If the person maintaining the sourceforge site is too busy and no one else volunteers, I could perhaps start doing this.
