Chebfun makes extensive use of classdef classes, and is one of the largest Free Software projects to do so.  Unfortunately it currently only works in Matlab.  This project seeks to (1) improve Octave's classdef support and (2) tweak Chebfun to work under Octave, for example, removing undocumented classdef features.  The final goal is to have at least basic Chebfun features working on Octave.  An additional goal would be making "pkg install chebfun.zip" work in Octave.

This project is important for both technical reasons (to improve Octave's classdef support) and ethical reasons (to allow Chebfun to run without proprietary software).
The impact of this project is improving Octave and allowing Chebfun to be used without proprietary software.
