When I migrated from Windows to Linux, the one thing I had to ensure was the
availability of a spreadsheet application which could handle my spreadsheets
and which could be automated by scripting. I dismissed KOffice and Gnome
Office almost out of hand because I thought of Kde and Gnome as creators of
GUIs for the operating system for whom office software would be little more
than an "extra". First KSpread then AbiWord pretty well confirmed my
suspicions.

wikidot has been inaccessible today.  The site now has an explanation
available but before that I was completely in the dark and a little
disappointed by the lack of any notice.  I've set up an exploratory page at
http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Office_software_options
