Okay thanks to all. I'm convinced we made the right decision originally. I wasn't sure at the start, everytime I'd describe this architecture I'd get "Why didn't you go with Excel XML format" -- but its nice to know that not only are people using the serializer at this point, but that they prefer the gnumeric format (as yucky as it is) for various reasons. Good to know it was the right decision. So Ken, while I don't want you to do it right now, because I think you have too many potatos in your donkey cart (picture Ken pulling a donkey cart with a bunch of potatos in it), what would it take to start moving this to Morpohos? It seems the majority of people using this at the moment are using it outside of Cocoon. I'll help (as soon as I move some potatos off my donkey cart) if I can, but I don't have enough Avalon/non-cocoon-xml-serializer experience to do this myself, nor do I have a clear picture of the plans for Morphos interface-wise. I would suggest a seperate mailing list for this, perhaps on krysalis in addition to the commons mailing list, as there is no way in hell I'm subscribing to the commons mailing list ever again because the volume is soooooo great that it would triple my current email volume and probably bring my ISPs flaky email server down anyhow! Others probably feel similar. From there we can plan an approach for the generator. It would probably be faster too, my patches get applied too slow to work on it very efficiently here.
