Great question!
The core of SocialCalc is basically the Perl and JavaScript source
code for editing and rendering sheets. Remember, this code is
licensed under the Artistic License 2.0[1] which means you can freely
use, modify, and distribute it. You can also send us patches and get
involved.
The code in the core lives under the following directories in
socialcalc:
lib/SocialCalc - The Perl Code
jslib/SocialCalc - The JavaScript Code
share/socialcalc - Data files and such
What isn't in the SocialCalc Core?
Another great question! That would be anything not directly involved
in running the editing screen or rendering the HTML view of a
spreadsheet. This includes publishing sheets; site, host, and user
administration; interfaces for formatting, tools, and logging out;
scripts; distributed html and page temmplates; and build systems.
