As Eike mentioned that is not the idea behind this task. The task would be
to integrate correct currency handling (that you show a warning/error when
you try to sum across different currencies e.g. EURO + DOLLAR). For this
the first requirement is most likely to get the unit feature branch merged
into master (it also requires some more work before merging can be
considered).

We are only interested in finding user errors with this GSoC project. So
you should think about which mistakes a typical user does in his
spreadsheets that he normally does not or only with a lot of work detects.

I'm not sure if you have already started working on an Easy Hack otherwise
I would recommend to start that as soon as possible. While it is not
necessary to finish the EasyHack before the submission deadline it is hard
requirement to be selected.

Regards,
Markus
