modifications to OF web pages

Hi Carnë,

I see you are making changes to the OF web pages,
which is a good idea as they can use some renovation.

Here are some comments you may or may not find useful:

1) http://octave.sourceforge.net/developers.html

* The first sentence does not sound very clear in describing 
  the different purposes of Octave core and Octave-Forge.
  This entry in the FAQ probably serves the same purpose better:
  http://wiki.octave.org/FAQ#What_is_Octave-Forge.3F

* "see it's page." should probably read "see its page."

* This page used to contain a description of the package
directory structure and of the syntax of the DESCRIPTION
and INDEX files, which you seem to have removed, it would
be nicer to at least leave in place a link to places where
the same information can now be found in the manual.

* "you should mention it on the maintainers mailing list."
  would be nice if this test actually linked to the mailing 
  list subscription page.

* "only older packages, usually unmaintained exist there now." 
   this is simply not true.

HTH,
c.
