Hi, Helgi Þormar wrote: So as many might know a guy called Christian Schmidt did some commits to PEAR:OLE some weeks ago, I just talked to him and he agreed on maintain the package as soon as he's done with some school projects so I just went ahead and added him as lead on the package web ui. Who knows perhaps we can trick him and David Sanders (excel reader guy) into pitching a bit into the excel writer fixing we so desperately need :D Good news. Maybe we can also get the Excel reader into PEAR then. I remember that it was rejected in the first PEPr voting only because of the "dead" of the Excel writer package and the different OLE class implementations.

Yeah I think that was the reason, like I said Christian commited his changes with out touching the writer part of OLE (hopefully) so we should be good to go :-) There's only one remaining bug on OLE atm and Christian is the one that reported it and even with a patch, hehe ;-) Now we'll just have to wait for his school work to cool down and then we'll have a new release which hopefully won't break anything. - Helgi
