Heya,

i talked about this with werner already. He warned me about the hot=20
discussions which have happened in the past concerning this topic. That's=
 why=20
i just like to tell you about a possible kspread-application which isn't=20
currently possible (me thinks).

At my job, we plan to use a spreadsheet-application as a frontend, which =
talks=20
to a corba-server for performing the calculations there. Excel XP (will)=20
provide(s) SOAP and could be used for it via a wrapper/bridge. I think su=
ch=20
applications will see a strong need in the furture at many companies.
Since KoScript is designed with security in mind (which is good), kspread=
=20
cannot contact the outside world (via rpc/files). I wonder, if this grade=
 of=20
security should rather be achieved on a per-sheet- than on a global=20
language-basis. The communication might be controllable via a flag, which=
=20
should be read-only from the sheet/script but could be changed from the g=
ui=20
("allow scripts in this sheet to do nasty things Yes/No").
We'd really love to have a unix-solution also.

Thanks for listening
Lenny
