Hello,

I have often consulted the Matlab FEX for interesting source code and ideas, but I was wondering whether there are any really large, collaborative projects in Matlab. Mabe, there are even some projects similar to open source style projects (I was thinking about code version control systems, merging, something like launchpad etc.)?

I would really be curious about seeing how a collaborative Matlab project works.

Yes there are. Some of us work in environments
where relatively large groups of people work on
a single project. Others work in smaller groups,
contributing code for others in their group to
use. And others work on their own.

My own career was as a consultant, providing tools
and toolboxes to solve problems that I came across
in consulting for clients. If you make the tools that
you write general enough and of good enough
utility, with good documentation, others will find
them of use too.
