Difference with traditional spreadsheet
---------------------------------------

Ferris wheel is *NOT* just another spreadsheet! The major difference between ferris wheel and traditional spreadsheets
is dynamic data loading, which makes ferris wheel an alive spreadsheet!

Traditional spreadsheets ask users to type or import data at the first time, and once the spreadsheet is done, it is a
static document. Well, it's internet age, isn't? Ferris wheel is meant to make spreadsheet alive with internet! What you
made with ferris wheel is not a static document, but with the ability to dynamically load data and render report. Even
further, ferris wheel allows you to set user parameter rules, which makes it possible to alter data loading parameters
as you wish even when you are just reading the report.
