How about the progress of that CWS now and > the timeline of that CWS will be contributed to OO.o main stream? The encryption work is already done. The CWS is blocking for the other feature, the sheet protection options, mostly on the ODF TC file format change approval. Once the file change is approved the missing piece of ODF load/save can be implemented quite easily for that sheet protection options feature. Here is the proposal: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/Spreadsheet_Table_Protection_Options (Actually any help pushing my proposal on the ODF TC would be great, since you guys are pretty active on the TC...) > Do you > need our support and cooperation? -:) Thanks for your offer, but since the core encryption work is 99% complete I don't think I need any more help on the core part of the implementation. Having said that, we are still lacking some UI fine-tuning since the UI for security, which includes file encryption, has undergone major change recently in the framework project. So, some work has to be done to hook the xls encryption bits to that new framework, which I haven't done yet. So, help in that area would be great. I've been talking with Mikhail Voitenko and Mathias Bauer about the new security framework on the framework list. In terms of timeline, 3.2 integration is realistic. Actually, I already tried to integrate the CWS for 3.1 (without the UI bits, that is), but couldn't because of new strings that it introduces (and it was after the translation deadline). So, 3.2 probably, unless we hit some unexpected roadblocks. So, that's the gist of it.
