I have made only little progress on Quint, but I even got patches and test reports from GNU/Linux users who directly mailed to me. For convenience, I suggest that we talk about Quint internally, but I renamed the window title to Octave and added the official Octave logo. I had to remove the background transparency though, because it looked weird in Unity.It won't be that easy to make a Windows build, because we are emulating a terminal to support readline. If anyone wants to contribute on that he may raise his hand, but I doubt that anyone is willing to do that.For now we have to clean up code. The view part ot the terminal emulation for example draws itself with primitive drawing routines, which is not only error-prone but also quit ugly compared to the remaining GUI. I also bet there is another tons of code that we can simply throw out.

person to do so, at least I was the last person to check anything into
the repository. Noone else checked anything in the whole time I worked
on it.
Learning Qt is easy from my experience.
Would working on Quint require building octave and dependencies from
scratch? Contributing to QtOctave was easy as it was just a small
program that was easy to build on any platform using cmake. I developed
in windows for instance.
