After spending about 20 minutes creating templates to do confidence intervals and hypothesis testing, I have come to the conclusion that you are right. Having students make their own templates from the textbook formulas ought to make a nice lab. Much more instructive than the "press a key, get an answer" sort of thing Minitab provides. I guess I hadn't really thought enough about it. So that brings the wish list down to boxplots, normal probability plots, stem and leafs, and maybe dotplots. Come to think of it, normal probability plots can be done with existing features fairly easily. This is starting to look pretty nice.
Please file enhancement requests on bugzilla.gnome.org against Gnumeric. Preferably one request per item. That will significantly increase the chance that they are being implemented.
So, for my next question, is there any target date set for a working windows port?
It depends what you mean with "working". You can run it on Windows but there are limitations. Specifically I believe you can't print. But of course I may be wrong having never used it on Windows.
As much as I'd like to install Linux in our Math lab, our sysadmin would never go for it. I'm still trying to get permission to install it on my office computer.
There is another solution! You can run gnumeric just fine off a Gnoppix boot disk, so there is no need to really install it on the lab machine. Accessing student home directories could be an issue.
