Talking about ideas... I remember a few months ago there was a thread
talking about ways to manipulate EXCEL files with Pharo, and the conclusion
was that... there weren't much options apart from exporting a .xls into a
.csv or .xml or other format easy to parse.

Is the community interested in a project to manipulate EXCEL files directly?

On the other hand... Janko, do you think a project like this, that uses open
source technology to interact with Office still qualifies for GSoC?

Cheers,
Carla.
