Great!
Specifically in adding functionality to copy sheets from one workbook to
another. Was wondering what the status of that effort is.
I've seen bits of example code posted the lists from time to time, but
IIRC we don't have a utility helper for it yet. If you're interested in
adding this feature, then I'd suggest you start trying to code up
something that uses the common ss.usermodel classes if possible, copying
over the basics. Add some unit tests for that, and open a new bug in
bugzilla for the patch + test files. If that goes well, then look at
adding support for copying more complex parts over too!
Otherwise, if you (or anyone else!) were looking for some easy-ish places
to get started with helping, I'd suggest:
* More example programs
* Expanding the documentation on the website
* Looking through recent bugs, and helping check that all the information
needed is present
* Looking through recent bugs with test files and descriptions, but no
unit tests, and working up unit tests for the problem
Patches for new features and bug fixes are very much welcome too, but the
above may be easier to get started with than diving straight into the core
of the codebase!
Cheers
Nick
