Not sure this is the right place for this suggestion but it involves 3rd party software and such.
We now have an Excel Spreadsheet plug-in for Eve. And while I recognize they did this in Partnership with Microsoft (and all the related corporate goals and do not compete contracts from that partnership)
The issue is that many people don’t own that software and are using Free, open source versions like LibraOffice. Its kind of cruel to give them the cold shoulder by limiting the availability to a corporate agreement to promote another product.
If I am wrong about that I apologize but from here this is my perception.
LibreOffice has hundreds of open-source programmers around the world and in all languages who program and manage that application, specifically the OfficeCalc package. And its free to everyone. So many, Many people use it. (like me)
Is there any way you CCP - or another developer here - could contact them and provide support (or even code) so they can incorporate eve API access?
Yes they can do it all themselves ( I cant help because I can’t figure out how to do it myself due to the alien language used to describe the whole concept on how it works, lol) but I suspect they would have to do 80% research on learning how it all works - for the 20% time it would take to create the code. Anyone’s help from here would make it 10 times easier.
I don’t know what NDA or Do Not Compete contracts CCP may have with outside parties concerning this but any help would be appreciated. Thank You.
