Thanks Franco for this one:

SheetPages is a technology that provides a simple HTML front end for complex spreadsheets on Java enabled operating systems including Linux. With the template deployed in a Java Server Page (JSP), spreadsheets can be made available either in view or update mode for multiple users, as needed. The advantage of SheetPages is that complex spreadsheets can be viewed on a wide variety of clients. Many browsers can be used to view spreadsheets because SheetPages generates simple, static HTML.

apnscp 1.0 RC4-2 Open Beta has been released:

After some unexpected delays in apnscp's progress, apnscp 1.0 RC4-2 is the first publicly available and non-botched release of apnscp.

apnscp is an addon for Ensim WEBppliance that emulates most all Ensim WEBppliance functionality in PHP. apnscp offers coders interested in extending Ensim WEBppliance with a simplified and more powerful interface, in addition to a light-weight, easily customizable Tcl socket server backend for handling higher level system calls. Additional features of apnscp include: trouble ticket interface, nascent billing support, MySQL and PostgreSQL cronjobs for automated database backups, and FrontPage control for installation/uninstallation of FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions.

Please bear in mind though that while this is a beta, some bugs may or may not exist. Further information can be found at http://apnscp.com/.
