There has been a lot of public interest in Matlab/Octave wrappers for some time now, so we are taking this project on board and aim to have a wrapper generator available within a few months. I will be leading this project under the supervision of Vincent Rabaud and Vadim Pisarevsky. For those who don't know me, I'm a computer vision PhD student and a long time lover of Matlab.
What we would like within this Q&A is to open the floor to suggestions on implementation details. I've already mapped out 96% of the code, but I'm always willing to listen if people have particular requests.
