Sudhakar, 

Cool. I need a couple of things out of the way, then I will add this
into the CVS. 

1. Did you  ever have access to Microsoft File format documentation
under an NDA ?
2. Was the work you sent to the list done for your employer? 

In response to your questions, 

1. standadrs - well, to create the high quality software, what else?
2. cvs etc :http://www.apache.org/dev/contributors.html
3&4. POI has a large amount of testcases, and we are quite wary of
allowing any code into CVS without testcases. We write our testcases in
Junit, and expect all functionality OR bugfixes to be accompanied by
testcases. Of course, nothing is perfect, so there is always scope to
improve. 
5. Be cool. Write good software :)

HTH
