------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jul 3 14:54:22 +0000 2008 ------- iha, I'm sorry - that _really_ wasn't meant as bashing at all. I just fundamentally believe that many _core_ features that users need are missing and I have to ask myself why that might be. I'm aware that SUN has _many_ developers working on OO but yet the core features are missing. This can only mean they are working on things that the "users" don't value as much. In product development, it is imperative that the design team do market studies and test group studies to find out what is important to the customers. I'm just suggesting that this might be missing - it was _not_ intended as a bash but more of a recommendation that SUN do some serious shadowing of their users to see how they use a spreadsheet. 1) Speed is still an issues 2) Humans can interpret information through graphics quickly. This is the reason Calc _needs_ a good graphics package. 3) Data is just data. Scientists, engineers, managers, and most others want to learn from that data which means applying statistics and trendlines to that data. This is a core feature, no exceptions. I hope to graduate in about 6-8 weeks. Let me know if you are serious about your willingness to work with me on this. I can help with the curve fitting theories but probably not the actual implementation of the code. I've offered my help before on trendlines and it wasn't taken. I'm more of a engineer/mathematician than a programmer although I do quite a bit of programming for my research - I don't know how the OO is put together. If the theory is missing or unknown, then that is where I can help. Again, I'm tied up for about 6-8 weeks but can point a programmer in the right direction for learning about curve fitting to minimize error... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
