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?
Regards,
Kasper

Hi Dave,
Great! 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.
Regards,
Kasper

Hi,
I can see this project being useful in a number of ways. 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.
Regards,
Dave
