Quantlib -> Gnumeric integration

Jody Goldberg-2
Hello there, I maintain gnumeric (an opensource spreadsheet,
www.gnumeric.org) and have been lurking for a while watching the
project progress.  Gnumeric is at a stage where our set of sheet
functions has surpased XL by a good margin and is growing to include
more derivatives pricers.  Before we duplicate too much
functionality it seemed like a good time to contact the list to see
if anyone familiar with quantlib's interfaces would be interested in
working on making them available in gnumeric, similar to the
wrapping done for XL (although it should be much much easier).

Any one interested ?

Hi,
         I have exported a handful of functions to Gnumeric through the
Python plugin and the QuantLib-Python wrappers. It was just a proof of
concept, and almost certainly I won't have time to pursue this. I can put
them somewhere for perusal if you want. The real question is, is this what
you had in mind, or you'd rather develop native wrappings? (i.e., C++ to
Gnumeric without passing through Python)

Later,
         Luigi
