It is not releasable yet, I was only wondering if there was any interest (and it goes beyond simple bugfixing - it just wouldn't be usable in other environments than mine due to lack of customizability). I'd like to have two or three more workdays before putting it up for branching etc. Note "workdays", and as I'm pretty busy now that might not be until January. The difference is, now I will plan for it and perhaps squeeze a day or two in soon. (I see now that I probably posted this too early). It is currently in a local SVN repository, but I'm not against switching to bzr if that's more convenient for others... I'm not familiar enough with bzr to answer your question - I can't grant others write-access or run any kind of server, so I couldn't put things like CVS or Subversion online, but if bzr facilitates branching from tarball-like downloadable files then I could do it. Otherwise I might apply for a sourceforge account in time. As to Debian packaging, I appriciate any help there as I haven't touched that stuff before. Any advice on make system? (Currently I have a shell script for building documentation etc...should I bother with automake?) Regarding excel imports, that's one of the features not quite done, but high on the list. It will do text formats (CSV and friends), but I could communicate with OpenOffice.org to do direct imports (in a later version). // Dag Sverre -- edubuntu-devel mailing list edubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
