For the scientists: ERROR BARS by TheMeuge · 2008-03-19 02:29 · Score: 5, Insightful

I am happy that after something like 5 years of suffering, the scientists finally get what they really need - definable range for error bars. Cause really, having to use Gnumeric for analyzing data, because OO 2.X was missing such a vital function was pretty sad.

Kudos to the development team for implementing these changes, and allowing me to further propagate open source software within the academic community.
