On file exchange, it is no longer possible to display the page of the 
last version of a fileset when this one has several versions: 
http://bugzilla.scilab.org/14828

So, could you just tell us the interest to add a fileset version 
upgraded to Scilab 6 whether the related page can't be displayed for 
anyone (ever for the fileset admin)?
For instance, try this one: 
https://fileexchange.scilab.org/toolboxes/140000/*6.0*
The 1.0 version is displayed.

This is the same for all filesets with several versions, and that lasts 
for 5 months now.

For ATOMS as well as for FileExchange, while inviting them to upgrade 
contributions to Scilab 6.0, it would be kind -- or may be just normal 
-- to /allow/ authors and users to /really /manage and reach /external/ 
contributions.

Hope reading you asap

PS: You look to aim forcing authors using the BSD lisence for filesets, 
since nothing has been done to reopen the choice after this strict 
restriction since June. This is also blocking.
All these blocking bugs and limitations and S/E passivity about them are 
a strong invitation to build a general contribs repository out of S/E 
infrastructures. This would relieve S/E to concentrate on its business, 
and would enable authors and users working normally.
