Hi again all, We now have a draft proposal. I will send to Dave as agreed, but are anyone else also interested in this? Please advice - should I post the complete draft proposal here, or only send to individuals who wish to help/mentor the proposal?

And indeed MetaModel does already make use of both Apache POI (for Excel spreadsheets) and OpenOffice (although currently using a "raw" HSQLDB-based approach to .odb files). So I think it sounds like you could be a really good mentor for the project. I will write a draft Incubator proposal based on the Proposal Template [0] and send it to you so we can talk about how to go further.

It is a very common pattern that data needs to be put in and out of some combination of spreadsheets, text files and databases. I'm totally willing to be a Mentor for this podling proposal. It fits well with my participation in POI, OpenOffice, ODF Toolkit, and Flex along with use of Tomcat, PDFBox and Lucene/Solr. I can also see how Gora might want to use MetaModel as well as MetaModel having a Gora interface.
