That's great Francis,

I confirm that you have Issues and Discussion on your GitHub dashboard now.  
I've enclosed a screen capture of how it is looking just now.

I don't think Excel implemented Calc formulas until ODF Calc formulas were 
specified in ODF 1.2 OpenFormula.  I don't follow current discussions on 
interoperability although I believe there are still some glitches between Excel 
and Calc.

Dennis,
Thanks for the advice! I did intend for people to look at the fork and I even 
had the link on my clipboard. I had a little domestic crisis this morning and 
my brain was not fully engaged, I guess.

 I turned on Issues and Discussion in my fork, I think. If you have a moment to 
check, it would be nice to confirm that and for me to see what it looks like on 
my end. We will have to have Git primer for docs volunteers but I have to learn 
these things myself. Before now, I have only used the command line to work with 
repositories on  systems I control, so all this fancy GUI collaboration is new.

I have long wondered how well MS Office supports the Open Document format since 
document exchange is a persistent topic on the forum. Back when ods support 
first came to Excel, I learned that saving an ods file would result in all of 
the formulas being silently dropped. That scarred me. I'm sure they have 
improved since then.

Francis
