Offer of service!

[Donald Permezel <djper1 student monash edu>]

G'day all,

Im a final-year electrical (& comp. sys) engineering student from 
Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, and for my final-year major 
project, I have chosen to 'contribute to an open source project'.

I am interested in gnumeric in particular as over last summer I was 
employed writing macros in VBA for Microsoft Excel, plus the fact that 
being an engineering student, a spreadsheet package seems a natural 
choice.


In terms of my aptitude programming- I have always scored very well on 
practical programming tests in 'computer' Units studied at uni, but 
unfortuantly being only a simple engineer I havn't taken as many as I 
would have liked.  I have experience programming in Assembler, C, and 
VBA (counting my last summer job).  I'm also in the process of trying 
to teach myself C++.

While I cant be sure of my abillities reletive to the task at hand, I 
can assure everyone that I have the utmost willingness to devote as 
much time and effort to being as useful as I possibly can!



Anyway, I'm hoping the developers/members of this mailing list can 
help me out with a few questions.

- Firstly, is this an appropriate package for me to work on?  If 
nothing needs to be done/I couldnt do it anyway, could someone please 
point me in the right direction to an open-souce project I may be able 
to contribute to?

- Secondly, is there a 'TO DO' list for gnumeric, with features that 
still need to be implemented?  Or is there someone in particular I 
could contact to have a chat to about me contributing to the project.


Many thanks for your help,
Don Permezel
