[pmwiki-devel] two new patches: ExcelPaste, GoogleMapAPI

I wanted to draw your attention to two changes I made to my local copy of 
software, which I feel strongly should be mainstreamed.

The first is to ExcelPaste, to get it to add '!' to the first row in the 
insert, causing the first row to have a header style applied to it.  I 
posted the patch to the wiki page, which you can delete if you like.

The second is to GoogleMapAPI, where I have a problem in that Google Maps 
requires you to register a map key for each host.  The problem comes when 
you have two domains pointing to the same wiki; e.g., finalscoretrivia.com 
and finalscoreohio.com - in the unpatched version, there is only one GmaKey, 
which, as you can see, would work for one but break the other.  My patch 
makes GmaKey an associative array allowing you to name which domain it is 
for, and keep multiple keys.  Again, patch posted to wiki page:

That said, these are all 3-lines of code changes.  Sometimes, it's easier to 
code a fix than it is to describe it.

Would the relevant maintainers consider mainstreaming these features?

Thanks,
Russ Fink
