And of course AOO should be interested in enhancing range of available functions. The question is how that can be done the best way. It is not a good idea to break compatibility in the ODF world without good reasons. Such efforts might bring some "technology leader bonus points" for AOO, but discredit for ODF because of compatibility issues. So the first check always should be whether such a new function already is defined in ODF specifications, only not implemented. Such a "missing" function simply should be added as soon as possible, AOO examples for such work are * Bug 101466 - ODFF: implement AVERAGEIF and AVERAGEIFS * Bug 95144 - ODFF: implement SUMIFS() * Bug 90269 - ODFF: implement COUNTIFS function and may be others. If not defined in ODF, it might be the best idea to gather such "good idea but undefined" functions in an Extension. And a good first step (I totally agree with Ariel) is a Wiki page (in a Category "New Calc functions" or whatever) with a clear definition, what in an ideal world might lead to a Basic code snippet, what will be integrated in an Extension, and some day the functions in such an Extensions become integrated into AOO core. And for that a tracking Bug here in Bugzilla might be useful, everybody having a problem looks ifrst in Bugzilla whether it's already known, and links to the Wiki with specifications might invite some users to contribute. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
