Hello Sorry, but it seems you are wrong :-) (or maybe I couldn't explain as well as I thought). I don't want to do any thesis or use the core of debian for it, just want to take the opportunity of make a real, free and high level stadistical proyect (and supervise by teachers) for a small contribution for Debian...this is not my "six months master work" and obviously we are talking about something wich it's in a different level where Openoffice, kspread or gnumeric are useless. Maybe to propose this here was a big mistake, not happen again.
