That's great.  Thank you.  By the way, I kept the doxygen stuff within
a deeper "html" level because that's how it was done before and I didn't
want to break links.  But since we are moving to octave.org, we could
drop the "html" directory.

Also, do you plan on keeping the development doxygen up to date yourself?
Or do you want me to keep doing it?

That's good to know.  And how are we about traffic?

We'll also need a place to host the octave forge releases.

  $ du --summ --human --tot *
  138M    Octave Forge
  227M    Octave Forge Packages
  2.5G    Octave MacOSX Binary
  1.9G    Octave Windows binaries
  611M    OldFiles
  5.2G    total

As with the doxygen doxs, you can sync this with:

  rsync -avzP -e ssh address@hidden:/home/frs/project/octave/

There are some on the octave forge website, on the wiki, and many scattered
through the internet (I'll guess specially on SO which is where I post links
to them most often.

Yes.  I'll try to do this today.  I will wait until we maybe drop the
"html" directory level.
