Here's the plan:
1. port Ole 2 Compound Document format to Java
-DONE
2. port the Excel 97 File Format to Java
~75% (you can write unstyled sheets, I'm working on formulas)
3. create a Cocoon 2 Serializer
~20%
The idea would be from there you could do something like create an ESQL
page or use some other method of generating XML, run a stylesheet
against it to transform it into essentially gnumeric xml format then
serialize it to excel.
Right now I just need more samples (xls files with formulas) to find a
nice way of parsing formulas and outputing as tokens and vice versa.

The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to
vote.
