Component to check spreadsheet documents for potential errors
Write an extension that checks a spreadsheet document for potential errors in formulas, presents a list of the findings to the user, and allows to correct them.
Things to look for could include
- Cells that contain numbers stored as text and are used in formulas,
- Number cells that are not used in any formulas,
- Empty cells that are used in single-cell formula references.
The list is not meant to be exhaustive.
- Required skills/knowledge: Java or C++, spreadsheet usage

Watch Window
A Watch Window is a separate, small window that remains "on top" and enables users to monitor a selected set of cells, see issue 28386.
This could be implemented as an add-on component with a modeless dialog containing the list of watched cells as well as the UI to add or remove cells.

New Tasks
If you have a task that is challenging enough, and there is an OpenOffice.org Project Member willing to mentor the task, feel free to coordinate with the appropriate project lead. If the appropriate project has been found and it supports the task, add it below and make sure the mentor applies with the web app.
Each entry should contain the task description, required skills, project mailing list for discussion and personal contact. Links to the To-Dos are appreciated provided that the task is well described there ;-)
===Example entry=== This is just an example - the real entry must not start with a space at the beginning of the line. A full description of the task should be here; one that will help to see that this task is important, and interesting to hack on. Alternatively it could be an exact link to the description that is already in To-Dos. * Required skills/knowledge: Language, technology1, technology2, ... ; Contact : dev@project.openoffice.org : The.Mentor at organization com
