Re: GSoC IDEA- AUTOMATED ERROR CHECKING IN CALC
Dear MARKUS , Please let me know the format of the proposal to be submitted as the 27 march is the last date. The topic is AUTOMATED ERROR CHECKING IN CALC FOR GSoC 2K15. I am working on the easy hack Currency Dropdown Menu, you can also confirm my work from there. I have already mailed you my ideas including the ones of my own.

Re: GSoC IDEA- AUTOMATED ERROR CHECKING IN CALC
Dear MARKUS, Sir, Just for once let me know the format of the proposal to be submitted for GSoC 2015 for the topic AUTOMATED ERROR CHECKING IN CALC And just give a look at my ideas and my proposal for the same. Then decide whether or not to allot me this project. And then I promise to give my 100% to complete this project with the accuracy desired by you, as I will not be having any of my academic work from MAY mid when the coding period starts !!!

Hi rajat, On Monday, 2015-03-23 21:53:08 +0530, rajat vijay wrote: I would like to discuss with you about my idea regarding the AUTOMATED ERROR CHECKING IN CALC as the deadline for registrations are nearer - I would like to add the the automated error checking by ADDING DIFFERENT CURRENCIES BY AUTOMATICALLY CONVERTING THEM USING CURRENT CONVERSION RATES THROUGH INTERNET AND IF OFFLINE, THE USER HAS AN OPTION TO ADD MANUAL CONVERSION RATES OR TO USE THE PREVIOUS ONE I doubt that such a currency conversion would be related to automated error checking. The idea of the extended error-checking is that mixing currencies (or other unrelated/non-convertible units) of different types is not allowed, not automatic conversion. Note also that Calc has a CONVERT() function (unfortunately named identical but different to the Excel CONVERT() function, which currently is available as CONVERT_ADD()) that obtains it's conversion factors from configuration values. Your idea seems more suitable for an independent extension that obtains values from somewhere in the net and saves them to the conversion configuration or provides some currency conversion Add-In function(s), instead of wiring it into the core code.

Re: GSoC IDEA- AUTOMATED ERROR CHECKING IN CALC
Sir, I have already started working on an easy hack 82641 Currency drop down menu !!! I got your point just one more detail I need, that only currency unit checking is enough or we need more errors to be checked for the GSoC 2K15 project. And finally as mentioned above I will not be able to finish my work on easy hack by the deadline 27 MAY then, what will be the procedure for my selection in GSoC 2K15 !!!
