The Project:

XLCue was conceived, created, and tested by Alex French.  XLCue currently has no project infrastructure (source repository, forums, mailing lists) oustide of Alex and this documenation.

How To Help (and get help):

Because the project is just Alex right now, any communications can go to aff@mit.edu.  These might include:

If you have questions about using and troubleshooting XLCue.

If you have suggestions for modifications or extensions to XLCue's features.

If you have positive or negative experiences that might influence XLCue's development, I'd like to know.  Especially related to speed of XLCue, using different hardware, different versions of Excel, and different shows.  Most if not all of XLCue's functions, especially import and export, have a lot of room for speed optimization.  If there's some operation that you find tediously slow, it can get attention and optimiziation.  But everything that "works" will probably just stay the way it is, unless someone complains (constructively).

If you're interested in actively helping XLCue development.  What's needed most is individuals who are interested in testing XLCue and in editing and writing documentation.

Or if you've used XLCue, I'm just interested to hear that.  I'd love to have a list of productions XLCue has been used on, as well as examples of specific productions that can be made available as samples.

Warranty:

XLCue comes with no warranty, no guarantee, use at you rown risk, etc..  BUT- Alex will do his best to provide any and all support necessary for anyone using XLCue on a real production.  This includes answering questions about XLCue's use, troubleshooting, fixing software bugs and possibly even small feature changes or extensions.  This is all dependent on Alex's availability due to work and life scheduling.  The point is, Alex wants XLCue to get used, so he'll do his best to support it.
