First of all I'm happy see my humble effort has been noted.

It is great to see they have been worthy of being copied to the wiki.
However I hope you don't mind me saying that I think using GitHub, GitLab or
similar platforms have many advantages. It is not just because I haven't
been able to login into the ATOMS nor wiki websites for last two month
(reported  here <https://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15988>   and
you have been already bothered enough for that), but the fact that:

 - GitHub rendering is much nicer and mobile friendly
 - a great majority of developers have GiHub or GitLab accounts
 - They are made for collaboration and code development
 - GitHub renders its own flavors of MarkDown and AsciiDoc

I hope you don't find me opposing to this statement as being rude, but
GitHub is quit user friendly. You don't have to push to your computer, just
open any file and edit it right away and send pull requests. GitLab also has
similar features. In fact I'm in favor of moving the entire project to
GitHub as I have proposed  here
<https://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16018>  .

Some of those code is already in the above repository, the documentation yet
to be added though. However those are pretty advanced examples and I'm not
even sure if I'm competent to understand them myself. Having some of your
expertise would be very valuable.

of course when matured enough all these could be pulled back to the official
Scilab documentation.
