But right now Spreadsheet_Write_Excel8 doesn't depend on anything, because it is still in the middle of being ported from Perl to PHP. :)

Hehe okey, well it's good that someone is trying to keep in sync with the pearl version, the current one we have is lightyears behind it (even tho it was ported from it originally)

or ? Would be cool to take the package and split it up like we do currently, keep read/write/ole in their own packages Yeah. This is the way to go.

Cool

perhaps even the data sources (am I going a bit too much overboard now ? :P) What do you mean by "data sources"? Spreadsheet programs?

Didn't you talk about fromXML function ? well you could have fromXML, fromODT (or what the OOo guys are calling it now a days) and such

Lets not rush it into CVS just yet, can you link it online first ? I'll talk to the folks at work (I wrote this on their dime) and see what we can do.

Lets cross our fingers and pray :P - Helgi
