OpenDocument Format (ODF)

[Vance Shipley]

Is anybody working on generating OpenDocument Format (ODF) in Erlang?

One of my old tricks is to export data in the SYmbolic LinK (SYLK)
file format as a ready built spreadsheet.  The SYLK format is an
undocumented early file format from Microsoft which is still supported
by Microsoft Excel.  It is an ASCII format which isn't too hard to
understand and easy to produce from Erlang.  Using this I can easily
generate reports with spreadsheet formatting and rudimentary formulas
(i.e. column totals).

I'd like an updated solution which would be better supported and allow
greater functionality.  It seems that moving to ODF might be the best
way forward.

I haven't tried to grok the ODF syntax for spreadsheets yet, maybe
it's not that much harder than SYLK.  I though maybe someone else
might be ahead of me on this though.  How about a language binding 
to the OpenOffice UNO?
