Im offering 20 Euro for someone to start a Spreadsheet project as part of
the Abiword project/Abisource framework.

The proposal is also available here:
http://matrix.netsoc.tcd.ie/~horkana/dev/abi/calc/AbiCalc.txt
I have not worked out all the details but this is pretty much it.

Im going home now but I will check my mail and be on IRC tomorrow.

Sincerely
Alan Horkan

Request for Proposal: AbiCalc

I rarely use spreadsheets when i do use them it is usually just as an easy
way to sort, manipulate and layout data. Other times i use spreadsheets as
a simple flatform database.

Abstract.  A very simple spreadsheet using the AbiSource framework.  I
will pay 20 Euro.  I know it is not much, it is intended only as an
incentive.

Hard Requirements: Must run on at least win32 (Microsoft Windows98) and a
Linux (preferably RedHat/Mandrake) version of your choice.  Impexp CSV
(Comma seperated values) (or even better some sort of XML file format,
must be uncompressed by default).

Alphabetical sort A-Z and Z-A, Find and Replace.

Soft Requirements: Should resemble the de facto standard spreadsheet
program.

There are a few other things like cut & paste that would also be needed.
This is only the first draft.  There are a few more features i need to
specify, but I need to think carefully about exactly how I use
spreadsheets.
