Common

Provide a internal framework for HPC

The Matrix Template Library is a high-performance generic component library inspired on STL for matrix operations.
This toolkit or a similar alternative could provide elegant operations for programmers and at the same time provide HPC capabilities within the spreadsheet.

OpenSocial integration

OpenSocial is an open standard for interacting with social networking software. 
For example, Apache Shindig supports OpenSocial.  This feature would enable users
to publish fine-grained content from their editor to their social network.  For example,
they could take the current slide and send it to their "friends" as an image, and ask for comments.

Interoperability improvement with MS Word 2007/2010 on Shape support

1. The shape created in MS Word 2007/2010 can't be parsed and will lost after importing. So, we propose to improve the implementation for shape loading.
2. The shape in MS Word 2007 described as VML format, and in MS Word 2007/2010, it's both in VML and DrawingML together. And to initial the compatible for this part, we propose to support VML first. So we could better interoperable with MS Word 2007 and MS word 2010 for common cases.

Base

Update database engine to HSQLDB 2.2.x

The present versions uses HSQLDB 1.8.0.10 version, HSQLDB 2.x.x has more features, and it is a version in development. CWS hsqldb19 was developed and tested extensively during 2009-11 (until April) by Ocke Janssen. The CWS is named 19 because it was started with a pre-release version of HSQLDB. It was actually developed and tested with release versions of HSQLDB 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2.x. The change from 3.3 to CWS was that the org.hsqldb.lib.Storage was retired and replaced by org.hsqldb.persist.RandomAccessInterface, which has similar methods
