any direct link (aka octave being able to read/write data directly in
a ods spreadsheet)
would help by putting octave nearly on par with matlab that can do
this with excel spreadsheet, a feature that is used by some and
advertised by mathworks. In Belgium (and many other countries) where
ODF become standards pushed forward at least in public
administrations, this could well help.
