Subject: [WANTED] - New leadership for ruby-spreadsheet

Hi all,

I'm looking for someone to take over the lead role for the "spreadsheet" 
package.  I just don't have the vested interest in this library that I 
once had, and so I figure it's time to turn it over to someone who can 
devote their full attention to it.

That would mean taking over both the current project (on SourceForge) 
and the new project (on RubyForge).

http://rubyspreadsheet.sf.net
http://rubyforge.org/projects/spreadsheet/

The SourceForge project is what you see on the RAA currently.  It's the 
old Excel 95 format (a port of Spreadsheet::Excel 0.x).

The RubyForge project is an incomplete version of the Excel 97 format (a 
port of Spreadsheet::Excel 2.x).  I've got most everything in the CVS 
repository but the output isn't quite right - some bytes are off somewhere.

If you're interested please email me offline at djberg96 at gmail dot com.

Please, only people who have an actual *need* for this library, along 
with a fair amount of free time, should consider taking over this 
project.  It's a lot work, and there's lots to be done - formula 
support, for example.  I would also say that the ability to read Perl 
code is a must as well.

On a side note, I've found that John McNamara (the author of the Perl 
module I ported) is quite friendly and happy to answer any questions you 
might have.

Regards,

Dan
