Hello, Spreadsheet Project members

My name is Takashi Nakamoto, a member of Japanese native-language
project. I have worked there for OOo promotion in Japan and
improvement of OOo functionality mainly related to Japanese.

Now I and Akiyama (a.k.a. tora) are working in a (no name) project
supported by IPA[1] to achieve the enhancement of OOo's functionality
and usability that is mainly specific to Japanese users. As a part of
our plan, we are going to develop ruby text support in Calc. This
support is primarily for improvement of interoperability with MS
Excel. The concrete features included our plan are following:

I'd say first point is to implement/enable Ruby support in the Calc core :-)

 - importing and exporting phonetic (ruby) text in Excel format

I have done some documentation about that in my documentation, please see http://sc.openoffice.org/excelfileformat.pdf, ch. 2.5.3, pages 17-20. Would be great if somebody checks this and lets me know about errors or missing information.

 - importing and exporting phonetic (ruby) text in ODF format
 - new function PHONETIC

I've filed new issues to request the enhancement just now. The further
information about the above enhancement are written on the
coressponding issues, i80764, i80765, i80766.

See also http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=62698

After this project ends, we are going to contribute our patches to OOo.
We hope Spreadsheet project will accept them. The end of our project
may be January 2008. (The accurate date has not been determined yet.)

If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask us. And , if there are
something that we should do before contributing patches, please let me
know.



Daniel
