Hi,
I am interested in contributing to Gnumeric as a developer. In particular, I am most interested in trying to build-out the scripting capabilities of Gnumeric. There's a lot of things that already work surprisingly well in Gnumeric. Thank you!
From this TODO / wishlist page...
http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnumeric/to-do.shtmlI see this:
Scripting. After some vacilation trying to decide between wrapping
Gnumeric's object model, and providing something that is VBA compatible, the
latter won. We'll export an api in C that is compatible with the widely used
VBA interface, and wrap it in several languages (Python,
VB.NET, and C# are likely
candidates).
Can someone flesh this out a little? Or point me to old posts on the matter. I am familiar the Excel VBA model, but I can't get my head around those two sentences. Is the goal to expose the Gnumeric object model as the VBA model via a C interface. Then other scripting languages (Python, Perl, etc.) can build from this object model?
This is a huge project by itself. Nevertheless, I am interested. Please let me know where things stand and where I can begin to read code and poke around. I'll need to start by just reading the code base for a while to get a feel for how it works.
Kevin
