The POI committers have voted to

<a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/ant">"innovate"</a> and hold a

User's mailing list</a> via an http link. If you do not
|
|
|

have an available webserver contact Andy (acoliver at apache dot
|
|
|
|
|
org) and ask him to post it for you (and he will if it doesn't
|
|
|
|
|
suck royally). Large binary attachments annoyingly posted to

Based on the poll results and the fact that Andy won't vote for
|
|
|
|
|
anything that isn't some kind of tiki god or hawaiian theme
|
|
|
|
|
(maybe a poi pounder would be acceptable), the committers will
|
|
|
|
|
vote on the new POI logo.

|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Logos should be submitted in two flavors: one for the top of the

page and another for posting on other sites that note projects
|
|

that use POI technology.

have their logo used wherever POI is proudly served.

As a general policy we try to collaborate as much as possible with other projects to
|
|
|
|
|
provide this functionality. Examples include: <a href="http://xml.apache.org/cocoon">Cocoon</a> for
|
|
|
|
|
which you'll soon find generators and serializers for our projects;
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.openoffice.org">Open Office.org</a> with whom we collaborate in documenting the
|
|
|
|
|
XLS format; and <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene">Lucene</a> for which we'll soon have file
|
|
|
|
|
format interpretors. When practical, we donate components directly to those projects for POI-enabling them.

We'll tackle this on a component level. POI refers to the whole project.

So why should you use POIFS or HSSF?

<p align="justify">

You'd use POIFS if you had a document written in OLE 2 Compound Document Format, probably written using
|
|
|
|
|
MFC, that you needed to read in Java. Alternatively, you'd use POI to write OLE 2 Compound Document Format
|
|
|
|
|
if you needed to inter-operate with software running on the Windows platform. We are not just bragging when
|
|
|
|
|
we say that POIFS is the most complete and correct port of this file format to date!

|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p align="justify">
|
|
|
|
|
You'd use HSSF if you needed to read or write an XLS (Excel) file using Java. You can also read and modify
|
|
|
|
|
spreadsheets using this API, although right now writing is more mature.

POI stands for Poor Obfuscation Implementation. Why would we name our project such a derogatory name? Well,
|
|
|
|
|
Microsoft's OLE 2 Compound Document Format is a poorly conceived thing. It is essentially an archive structured
|
|
|
|
|
much like the old DOS FAT filesystem. Redmond chose, instead of using tar, gzip, zip or arc, to invent their own
|
|
|
|
|
archive format that does not provide any standard encryption or compression, is not very appendable and is prone
|
|
|
|
|
to fragmentation.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|

<p align="justify">

Poi is also a Hawaiian delicacy that <a href="http://www.m-w.com">Merriam Webster's dictionary</a> defines as:
|
|
|
|
|
"A Hawaiian food of taro root cooked, pounded, and kneaded to a paste and often allowed to ferment." This seemed
|
|
|
|
|
strangely descriptive of the file format.

So if you like acronyms, then POI is an acronym. If you hate them, then we just used the name of the food for our
|
|
|
|
|
project. If you wish to signify your love or hate for acronyms, use POI or Poi to refer to the project respectively.

So you'd like to contribute to the project? Great! We need enthusiastic, hard-working, talented folks to help
|
|
|
|
|
us on the project in several areas. The first is bug reports and feature requests! The second is documentation -
|
|
|
|
|
we'll be at your every beck and call if you've got a critique or you'd like to contribute or otherwise improve
|
|
|
|
|
the documentation. We could especially use some help documenting the HSSF file format! Last, but not least, we
|
|
|
|
|
could use some binary crunching Java coders to chew through the convolution that characterizes Microsoft's file
|
|
|
|
|
formats and help us port new ones to a superior Java platform!

project!
