| 49 | 22 Community support can be great, and with the Octave community it |
| 23 often is, but sometimes you need to know that your question will | |
| 24 be answered. We maintain a <a href="commercial-support.html">list | |
| 25 of people and organizations who offer commercial support | |
| 26 contracts</a> for Octave. This list is available as a service to | |
| 27 the community and the support providers. The Octave project does | |
| 28 not provide endorsements or recommendations. | |
