OpenFormula Alignment (was RE: Forward planning for OO 5.0)

["Dennis E. Hamilton" <de...@acm.org>]

A good source for volunteer effort is exploration of the alignment between Calc, ODF 1.2 OpenFormula, and other ODF Spreadsheet supporting implementations such as Excel 2013 and Gnumeric.

This would isolate and identify provisions of ODF 1.2 OpenFormula, such as IFERROR <http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part2.html#__RefHeading__1018448_715980110>, that may not yet be supported.  There may be others that variances and boundaries that need to be dealt with or at least specified as implementation-dependent/defined for Apache OpenOffice.  

This is a rich avenue for documentation, testing, and interoperability verification as well as learning how to integrate/maintain formula processing in Apache OpenOffice Calc.

Regina Henschel is a valuable resource in this area.

This is one of the features that are realistically suitable for new 
volunteers (even though this one would need mentoring too).
