Hi Timo,
This sounds very similar to what I've been doing lately for my smester
project for the *{{DesignWrite}}* course. Take a look at my rather
elaborate and complex spreadsheet here <http://bit.do/TiddlyCRM-sampledata>,
which generates randomised people, organisations, addresses, phone numbers,
email addresses, and other entities (all based in New Zealand), as sample
data for testing <http://bit.do/TiddlyCRM-sampledata-testing> our TiddlyCRM
system. We may also be about to change our tiddler title policy from a
composite of existing fields, to a straight-out UUID instead. In our
finished product, we'll be hiding both the tiddler titles and the tags, so
those nasty UUIDs won't be seen by the end-user.
At one point I was even thinking of generating a semi-random SVG image from
spreadsheet formulas, to be the company logos for our random organisations.
I'm keen to see what you come up with in this space.
Hegart.
