[Dan Bricklin][] (one of the guys behind VisiCalc, the original spreadsheet software application) is working on a web based application called [WikiCalc][] that will offer the collaborative features of a wiki in the guise of an online spreadsheet. [WikiCalc][] is in the alpha stage of development now, but based on the [screenshots][] I’ve seen it looks very promising. Perhaps more importantly from a user adoption standpoint, [WikiCalc][] is being developed in Perl and will be released under a GPL license so it should be freely available to run on all major platforms once it’s ready to go. Needless to say I’m very excited about this application and I anticipate a lot of other people will be as well.
