Hello, Spreadsheet Project members My name is Takashi Nakamoto, a member of Japanese native-language project. I have worked there for OOo promotion in Japan and improvement of OOo functionality mainly related to Japanese.
Now I and Akiyama (a.k.a. tora) are working in a (no name) project supported by IPA[1] to achieve the enhancement of OOo's functionality and usability that is mainly specific to Japanese users. As a part of our plan, we are going to develop ruby text support in Calc. This support is primarily for improvement of interoperability with MS Excel. The concrete features included our plan are following: - importing and exporting phonetic (ruby) text in Excel format - importing and exporting phonetic (ruby) text in ODF format - new function PHONETIC I've filed new issues to request the enhancement just now. The further information about the above enhancement are written on the coressponding issues, i80764, i80765, i80766. After this project ends, we are going to contribute our patches to OOo. We hope Spreadsheet project will accept them. The end of our project may be January 2008. (The accurate date has not been determined yet.) If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask us. And , if there are something that we should do before contributing patches, please let me know. Thanks, [1] IPA stands for Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan, an independent administrative agency. http://www.ipa.go.jp/index-e.html -- Japanese Native-Language project Good-Day Inc.
