Re: [office-comment] Reference/library implementation of OpenFormula?
Hello John,

We briefly discussed your question in our ODF Technical
Committee meeting yesterday.  Many implementers of ODF applications
are members of the committee, so we have a good overview of what is out
there.

None of us was aware of a standalone library for evaluating
OpenForumula expressions.   Personally I know that has been some interest
expressed in having such a component, in Java, as part of the Apache ODF
Toolkit [1], but no one is currently working on that.  

Regards,

Committee
