Hi,

I can see this project being useful in a number of ways. It is a very =
common pattern that data needs to be put in and out of some combination =
of spreadsheets, text files and databases.

I'm totally willing to be a Mentor for this podling proposal. It fits =
well with my participation in POI, OpenOffice, ODF Toolkit, and Flex =
along with use of Tomcat, PDFBox and Lucene/Solr.

I can also see how Gora might want to use MetaModel as well as MetaModel =
having a Gora interface.

Regards,
Dave
