Hi, I am interested in contributing to Gnumeric as a developer. In particular, I am most interested in trying to build-out the scripting capabilities of Gnumeric. There's a lot of things that already work surprisingly well in Gnumeric. Thank you!
>From this TODO / wishlist page... http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnumeric/to-do.shtml I see this: *Scripting.* After some vacilation trying to decide between wrapping Gnumeric's object model, and providing something that is VBA compatible, the latter won. We'll export an api in C that is compatible with the widely used VBA interface, and wrap it in several languages (Python, VB.NET, and C# are likely candidates). Can someone flesh this out a little? Or point me to old posts on the matter. I am familiar the Excel VBA model, but I can't get my head around those two sentences. Is the goal to expose the Gnumeric object model as the VBA model via a C interface. Then other scripting languages (Python, Perl, etc.) can build from this object model? This is a huge project by itself. Nevertheless, I am interested. Please let me know where things stand and where I can begin to read code and poke around. I'll need to start by just reading the code base for a while to get a feel for how it works. Kevin
