You are always welcome to improve the Octave wiki.  If the changes are
not suitable, each wiki has a rollback function, just go ahead ;-)  Just
for curiosity, what do you plan to flesh out there?

Agree, Octave's participation in GSoD, next to GSoC, might be worth a
try.  Getting a motivated experienced technical writer (maybe Prubhtej
Singh) for Octave cannot be bad at all.

I start with the wiki [1] this weekend, maybe creating an own short
page, if I carefully read the guidelines [2].  Nir, would you find time
to fill out the organization application form [2] again?  I would like
to be added as admin/mentor, whatever is needed.  If you are not
available, I can also care about this part.
