No, I mean class descriptions generated by doxygen. We have these on the
current site at

  http://octave.sourceforge.net/doxygen/html/index.html

I both agree and disagree. I think it is nice to have all the
documentation available in one place where everything looks the same. If
we link to www.octave.org the user will get something that looks
different from Octave-Forge. I think that will just create confusion.

That being said, I think it is silly to duplicate the documentation on
multible sites. Personally, I'd like to merge www.octave.org and
octave.sf.net into one site, so there is less to maintain.

The problem is the 'See also's in the function help texts. If you look
at a help text for a function from a package that references some
function in core Octave, where should you go when you click on said
link? If it'll be confusing if you get sent of to www.octave.org.
