Now Inge, how would you like this to work?  Would you like Kugar to pick the 
data out of KSpread, decide what template to place it in, generate a data

Well, no, I think like a human being with limited time.  I also work on other 
projects, but with that said I'll try and work on Kugar as time permits...  
Just as I have been doing.  See the commits... :)

It goes both ways, Inge.  Both ways.
