Hi Kevin, I think both are still available. There have been a few people showing interests over the course of the years, but no code has ever arrived yet. I was also interested in the statistical analysis tools, but so far I have not had time available to commit to it (and probably will not at least sometime to come). So, it remains open. As for more information other than those given in the referenced pages, you may be interested in learning the OpenOffice.org (OO.o) API called UNO since you would probably be using it to develop the statistical analysis tools. But for the validation of statistical functions, you wouldn't necessarily need to learn it. To learn it, go to http://api.openoffice.org/DevelopersGuide/DevelopersGuide.html or download the PDF version from that page. You may also be interested in Ian Laurenson's API page at http://ext.openoffice.org.nz Also Rovert Vojta's blog may be useful to get started in UNO component technology. http://blog.vojta.name/archives/2005-06-02T13_36_48.html (for Java) http://blog.vojta.name/archives/2005-06-02T11_51_04.html (for Python) If you ever want to work on the core codebase, be sure to check out Michael Meek's excellent hacker's guide: http://go-ooo.org/hackers-guide.html Also, consider joining our mailing list by sending an empty email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribing is equally easy, that is, send an emtpy email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's all I can think of at the moment. I'm sure if there is anything more to add, other folks will jump in. :-) Warm regards, -- Kohei Yoshida OpenOffice.org Calc contributor http://kohei.us/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
