One of Gnumeric's projects gets my vote...

For one of the best (and most useful) SoC projects, I'd vote for Gnumeric's multi-dimensional data visualisation. In other words, Gnumeric is getting crosstabs (called pivot-tables in Excel).

Crosstabs were the one big thing that Excel had and Gnumeric didn't. In a few weeks, that difference will be gone. Yet another reason to drop MS Office... :-)
