Nice post about submissions and quality, all really good points. One thing I wondered in this area: do The Mathworks have opinions on how best to make open-source submissions and get collaborative projects going, ie “a bit like” SourceForge or Google Code, for use in the MatLAB environment? I’ve often wondered why the FEX doesn’t support this model, I’m sure there are good reasons.

A number of times, I’ve extended the functionality of something I’ve downloaded from here, often addressing what I think is a common Use-Case, but have no way of giving this back to the community without posting whole new submission. Likewise, I’ve not submitted an early stage project because it’s not quite there but also feeling that I’m developing something that a wider community might really latch on to and help take forwards.

Regards,

Mark
