having looked at an unfortunate number of ms office documents in past lives=

this is indeed quite a common pattern. given the language these people used=

for this (mostly vbscript and other more complete bastardizations of basic)=
=20
i'm failing to understand the issue.

as i noted, it's wonderful if we can provide a choice of languages (that's =
one=20
of my favourite features of postgresql, to draw on a completely out-of-band=
=20
example), but we should at least provide one throughout all of our scriptab=

apps.

and this is my concern: we'll end up with 8 different choices in 8 differen=

apps due to the author's personal preferences or feelings on what a user is=

and should be capable of doing. Cyrille noted that there is a commitment to=
=20
support js in koffice and if so, that would suffice as far as i'm concerned.
