Hi Daniel, First of all, welcome aboard for GSoC 2012! We are very excited to have you work on Calc's performance improvement this summer.
According to the official GSoC timeline, we should spend the first couple of weeks getting to know your mentors (which is, me and Markus), read documentation, and get up to speed on your project. I assume that, since you've already worked on two easy hacks, you already know how to build, hack, and submit patches using git enough to get started. If not, you are welcome to ask us for help. I talked with Markus briefly, and we think that as a starter, we should stay on the xlsx import code and make a few more improvements there before moving on to other areas. We have already covered the named ranges import, and now we will shift our focus to cell value import, and hopefully make it a bit faster than it currently is. The first thing we'd like you to do toward this goal is to create a test xlsx document, and add it to our filters-test. Markus knows more about this filters-test framework, so I'll let him fill you in on the details. Last but not least, can you give us a brief introduction of yourself now that you are officially in? :-) Looking forward to working with you this summer!
