Comment(by bernie):

 Replying to [comment:11 RafaelOrtiz]:
 > For now we have socialcalc, as experimental on ASLO, but a replacement
 for seeing spreadsheets must be proposed. SocialCalc is heavily used in
 Uruguay.

 Has anyone investigated a port of Gnumeric done the same way we did Write?
 The design appears to be similar, with the spreadsheet engine available in
 a shared library which could be embedded in a simple Python UI. Bindings
 appear to be missing.

 If nobody has time to do this work, what about running the unmodified
 gnumeric binary wrapped with Albert Cahalan's sugarize tool? Thanks to the
 switch to Metacity, Sugar 0.88+ has good support for running native Gnome
 applications. It might not strictly follow the Sugar HIG, but still more
 usable than a broken SocialCalc, right?
