I agree with what you're saying, but I'm not going to be pessimistic about the endeavour! I think, given time, we can build something that solves at least some use cases better than Calc.
- grandinj 8y agoLibreoffice hacker here. Calc is one of the nicer parts of the codebase. Don’t underestimate the enormous list of features that are required in a modern spreadsheet engine. We’re talking 100s of man-years of coding. Come join us and make it better. Or task one of the available consultancies to implement the features you want.
- osrec 8y agoI know I am underestimating; I have a tendency to do that, so I appreciate the warning. May I ask how many people currently contribute to LibreOffice regularly?
- grandinj 8y agoThere are about 20 people or so who contribute on a frequent basis i.e. at least weekly. But we have a very long tail of people who contribute less often. You can see the commit frequency here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/ http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/ Come hang out on the libreoffice-dev IRC channel if you have more questions
