There was indication of the merging of spreadsheet-excel and parseexcel. Does anyone know of any progress in this endeavor? Also, I see spreadsheet-excel has a gem file whereas parseexcel doesn’t. Does parseexcel have a gem file in someones local gem repository or is it going to have one in the future? thanks ---
