Javelin and Improv were financial forecasting/modeling tools. Their secondary function was general business intelligence. They required data input to adhere to a very specific set of rules. Basically, it was what, when, where, and numbers. The specific activity was irrelevant. Consequently, it could be used with equal ease to predict the number of deaths in a specific location each month, or the future gross profit for a specific location in a specific month. If your data was periodic, and you needed periodic based forecasts, the tool was, for you, mandatory. If either your data was not periodic, or you did not need periodic based forecasts, the tool was, for you, useless. The simplest route for LibO to clone Javelin, would be to rewrite the extension that enables R functionality within Calc, such that it automatically installs all of the needed dependencies, then write a _LibO with R_ manual, using examples similar to those in the original Javelin documentation, as well as more recent Business Intelligence examples. (In reply to jonathon from comment #1) > The simplest route for LibO to clone Javelin... While R surely boosts the functionality of any application that's off-topic here. The request is the integration of Wikidata. Interesting proposal. Needs breaking down into implementable bits and pieces, preferably via extensions, preferably using existing open data / open knowledge libraries. Could seed OKFN / Jugend hackt / hackfest event ideas. No further input from UX needed by now. Maybe when it comes to the implementation. |
