We are organizing every year a conference called ScilabTEC:
http://www.scilab.org/news/events/20110502
http://www.scilab.org/news/events/2010/20100719

There are also some conferences organized in other countries like India
or China.

It is usually the best way to go ;)

Working on this would be really great. AFAIK, we haven't planned this
for Scilab 5.4. We would have to find the best way to go technically and
functionally! :)
Great idea by the way!
