Optimizations, Polish and Extensions
====================================
This section lists various optimizations/extensions that can be done
to features that already work.

* Component

   + Remove the hard-coded workbook hooks from the sheet.
     Initialize the hooks on the workbook_new routine.

* Cell editing

   + Colouring a parsed formula for editing.

* Functions

   + Implement more functions :
     - GETPIVOTDATA.

* Data Analysis Tools
  - Exponential smoothing
    + Chart output
  - Histogram
    + Chart output
  - Moving Average:
    + Chart output
  - Regression
    + Residuals
    + Standardized Residuals
    + Residual Plots
    + Line Fit Plots

* Printing
   + Preview
     - Stroke support for zoom etc.
   + Print setup: 
     - Options buttons
     - Improve layout 
   + Add the missing options to the Print Dialog
   + Display printing status (pages to go).
   + Add column/row title printing

* Font dialog
   + Create a simplistic dialog (to map to font-bold yes/no).

* Cut&Paste
   + when cuting & pasting a cell that is inside a range on another cell grow
     the range of the formula if the cell is pasted in a place where it grows
     it boundaries.

* Number formatting

   + TODO :
     - Too much parsing is taking place when formating.  We should
       have set all that up beforehand when the format was parsed.
       A methodology similar to that used by the regexp compiler should
       be used.

* Sheet

   + Column sizes
     Columns should have an "auto-grow-up-to-this-point" feature.  Beyond that
     size, it would truncate as it does now.

* Auditing

   + Write the sheet auditing code.

* Editing

   + Object Clipboard
     If sheet->mode is OBJECT_SELECTED cut/copy/paste should operate on
     the object.

   + Objects
     Load / save of Bonobo objects.

* File Load/Save
   + Support for popular formats.  
     Miguel has specs for the XS3 format.  SC should be
     trivial to support as well (from the guile sources)
   + Improve handling of unknown fonts and functions when importing.

* Workbooks:

   + Consider addition of a cursor warping operation to jump between
     open workbooks.

   + Notebook
     - Decrease flicker when paging between sheets.
     - Enable capability to select multiple sheets.

* Office compatibility

   + Write an XML plugin to output 'Publish as Web' style XML for
     Office 2000 and 'explorer' compatibility.

* Parser

   + fully support R[-1]C[3] type references.

* Calculation
   + Dependancies for - CELL functions.

1.3
==========
These section lists features that are for post 1.0 versions
and are mostly just ideas or things that can't be implemented
yet (on short term) for technical reasons. Feel free to step in
and try to implement them, but remember that the things listed
under "1.0" are more important.

* Page Borders

   + These are border that should be visible on the sheet and
     indicate where new pages start when printing. Jody has been
     doing work on this.

* Conditional Formatting

   + Conceptual progress being made, nothing concrete yet.

* Pivot Tables (!)
  
   + Needs to be adopted. Look at other implementations of this
     feature to get an idea what needs to be done.

* Scripting (!)

   + Needs to be adopted.

* Function Documentation
  
   + There is some function documentation already, but
     it's incomplete.
