I couldn't agree more. In the same spirit of briging to two projects 
closer, I would love to see them share the same internet domain.

Currently the situation can be a little confusing for newcomers :

 * http://octave.org/ --redirects--> 
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/   [with the GNU favicon]
 * OF is hosted on http://octave.sourceforge.net/  [with the Octave 
favicon]

I would find the following much cleaner :

* Octave's site hosted on http://octave.org or http://octave.org/core
    [invisible redirect to http://www.gnu.org/software/octave]
* OF's site hosted on http://forge.octave.org or http://octave.org/forge
    [invisible redirect to http://octave.sourceforge.net]

both with the Octave favicon :)

Replacing the sombrero with the Octave logo on OF's homepage will be a 
problem, since the header currently has a blue background.

Perhaps one elegant way of solving this problem, and at the same time 
bring Octave and OF a little closer, might be to adopt Octave's CSS for 
the OF site.
