are in the process of adding analytics to the system using mondrian. I have
committed to helping them out, and Matt Casters (architect of Pentaho Data
Integration aka Kettle) is also involved. They are looking for committers do
build the mondrian schema and analytics, and that's why I'm reaching out to the
mondrian community.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
