| ** Short summary: Octave got one x86_64 server instance '''(2 cores, 4 GB memory, 500 GB HDD)''', useful as webserver probably?!

| |
| :** Kai thinks this could be a webserver, however, what is the benefit to the current situation? 😓
| |
| :** See jwe's note here about potential use cases. [https://octave.discourse.group/t/current-recommendation-for-mercurial-hosting/2726/5 Moving hg and buildbot from Digital Ocean to Fosshost]

| ** Need clarity about the purpose: Helping search vs. Motivate to join Octave community.
| |
| * How to implement a classdef class in C++ code only?
| |
| ** Why is the classdef implementation so complicated? Does it need to be?
| |
| ** @carandraug and @Maged will look into this for their GSoC project. Pointers welcome.
| |
| ** Maybe, some kind of documentation could be a result of the GSoC project.
