Post Win Shares

I'm almost finished putting together 2 spreadsheets. One for calculating Short Form Win Shares, and one for calculating Long Form Win Shares. The short form version is finished, the long form is finished except for one step (distributing win shares to individual pitchers).

Would these be remotely interesting to anyone? Also, would anyone use a utility that pulled this info from csv exports and calculated it automatically? I'm thinking about refining the spreadsheet further to remove most of the middle steps and then I may write a csv-parser/win share calculator if there is demand for it. The results, even with the long form method, will be less than accurate because of trades/releases/career ending injuries, but I figure it's better than nothing. On the other hand, I dunno if I really want to take the time to code something that 3 people will use.
