I'll be happy to amend my scoring if it gets "GAed" (made generally available) at release. I had actually planned on not listing it at all, but given that I really didn't find anything else 'innovating' I left it in, with explanation, instead of a blank. Also not it's not listed later in the features summary either. If I had just not mentioned it at all, I'm sure I'd get comments asking why it wasn't included. Six of one, half-dozen of the other I guess.... Mike,

So after spending about 90 minutes getting all the basics in (import didn't work either - it would just hang) to find out it's too complicated kinda turned me off. I may try importing it into Google when the release approaches or the changelog gets posted by SFDC and I update it again. <em>Edit</em>: I realized the other reason I didn't do that. I used Excel's data validation to pick the contents of several of the fields from a list of values. I then use those fixed values to compute the points. If I didn't I'd need more columns or be subject to typos.
