Re: Setting up for GSoC TISEAN port project

[Piotr Held]

Hi Juan,

In the bitbucket repo I moved the Makefile into src and changed it so it creates the .oct files within src. 

How am I suppose to use those oct files (they are called by *.m files located in /inst)? 

Does it work now as a package and can I install the whole thing somehow into Octave? 

If yes then how (this page only talks about installing from tar.gz files)?

:),

During the meetings we discuss some formalities: state of the coding,
problems, etc. basically what we will do every time we meet in IRC,
being that a "formal" meeting or not.
The formal meetings I will try to keep them short, top 1 hr. They are
just tie slots that we should have uninterrupted, fully dedicated.
Maybe we can do once every two weeks or so. Lets get a feeling of how
often we need to meet in the following weeks. Again, we can meet at
any time, this is just a regular thing to give us some frame.
You suggested 14:00 UTC, fine with me.

Commits are not "updates", the way I meant it. Commits indeed update
your code, but what I meant by updates is: "I want to know how things
are going". That is, whether you need specific help, or something is
not going as expected, etc...
Blog posts are totally up to you and I would suggest you write as
often as you can! One every 10-15 days should be enough, but when you
do cool stuff (or hit the wall), share it!

Schedule and timeline, the same. It is enough with the calender.

No reasons at all, go ahead, but maybe you want to enjoy your days in
the bonding period getting ideas from other members. I particular I
suggest to talk with carandraug (our Forge master) and with our big
Guru's: jwe, JordiGh, Rik, Nir, Mike Miller, Olaf Till, etc... you
will notice they are the most active in the mailing list.

Go ahead and talk with the people, everybody has great ideas (even if
I do not always like them :D )

Hi Juan,

I started working on those flow charts. They are on the TISEAN wiki page. If you want to edit them just download the file and open it with www.draw.io and you should be able to edit it (even though it's a .png -- it has xml). I will welcome any comments. I don't have an idea currently how to incorporate them into the wiki so that they would look nice.
