Ummm, if you're using .NET wouldn't you be able to natively talk (COM, perhaps) to Office documents, thereby obliviating the need for POI altogether?! :) (this is said jokingly, but if I'm off base then feel free to enlighten me). Erik - Original Message - From: "Andrew C. Oliver

I've been thinking about it...Perhaps we shouldn't port POI over to C#, perhaps we should utilize the full power of .NET and port it to all 7-13 languages it supports currently! Meaning POIFS = VB.NET HSSF = C# HPSF = PERL.NET HDF = J# I mean, thats one degree of separation! Think of all the

RE: [VOTE] Switching development to C#

Do you have anything against Fortran or Cobol? There will be .Net implementations for those, you know? And we could leverage the power of all those "legacy" academic and enterprise programmers. (I bet there are a lot of Cobol guys getting a lot of free time on their hands after the Y2K mess.)

Costin, it's even better! since it _is_ language independant we could have all developers leverage the language they already know! YES! you can use Java aswell, and everyone here knows the supported 1.4.x JDK release, right? The BASIC guys could even extend the Java classes and vice versa... and

There seems to be a process for creating new projects but what about removing projects that have lost their community. Can a project ever be removed from jakarta? Under what conditions should a project be declared dead (as opposed to being mostly feature complete). Regards, Glen Stampoultzis +
