Welcome aboard !  More help is always appreciated.   Your background
is ideal for Gnumeric.   There are quite a few projects available.
To date we've found that a good way to get started is to

1) Get an irc client, and come by #gnumeric on irc.gnome.org
   For more immediate communication
2) Get a copy of gnumeric building from CVS so that you can see
   modifications as they go in.

Thanks for the offer, I look forward to working with you
