Re: [Libreoffice] [GSOC] Report #5. Wizards

Wow, thank Peter for this amazing explanation. I'm currently sumerged into
the gsoc project too so I can't give it a try right now but I'm sure I will
once I finish it. The problem right now is I don't know most of the things
you're talking about so I'll need first to get my feet wet. I'll let you
know when I start to work on it.
