It'd be great to be able to use Gnumeric generically
as a data source. That said, right now we're capable
of using some Gnumeric files as data sources - that
is, any file saved in CSV format or a tab-delimited
text format. This route is sub-optimal, but it's
preferable to nothing. If we could link a plugin to a
(currently non-existant) libgnumeric.so or similar,
this'd be great.
I'd also like to setup Evo as a data source. Ximian OO
did this, but it's a hack. I've been advised by
various Ximian employees not to follow down the same
route, and that they'd suggest a preferable alternate
strategy.
But yes, if we can get Mergeant, Evo, and Gnumeric as
data sources, that'd be wicked-sweet.
Cheers,
Dom
