It's fine with me if we have a place in the wiki where we can list
packages that are known to work with Octave but that are not part of
Octave Forge.

That would be great.  What do you have in mind?  What software is used
to run the current wiki?  Is there something better that we could be
using?  I could easily install MediaWiki on www.octave.org.
Currently, www.octave.org is separate from the gnu.org site and could
be used to host a few things that we can't run on the gnu.org site,
like a wiki, or a bug tracker (if we decided to use something other
than the one available on savannah), or anything else that requires a
database or much server-side scripting, etc.
