I am seriously considering volunteering, but _my_ way. The idea is
trivially simple:

to modify 'octave' built-in 'help' function in a manner it will in
addition to displaying 'octave' built-in documentation will display
the corresponding Matlab documentation by invoking WEB browser with
URL pointing to Matlab documentation of the same function.

If I do this, I'll release the code under GPL - as the original one of
built-in 'help' function.
