Thanks Jason and Michael. Actually I don't have a specific need to read from xls. Though I'm delighted to get a help from Jason on setting up the environment and take on a feature improvement.
Yes of course I would be delighted to take on the development of REST interface. If it was developed to some extent I would be pleased if anyone can direct me for it. In addition I saw there is a possibility of applying Gsoc. I wonder if I can take these tasks for a Gsoc project if possible. Any suggestions please ?
