+ Jay, please feel encouraged to push good stuff to master (Kendy)
+ we will have enough time to tweak or remove before 5.1 (Kendy)

+ where in the sources? (Jay)
+ extras/source/templates/*
+ sfx2/source/doc/doctempl.src shows the names of the categories

* UI Guidelines (Heiko)
+ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hSYOFoG6jnj2G0zWDbUYkrGZoj7YCSI9j3onkTZ65bU/edit
+ replace "UX principles" https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Principles by "HIG"
on https://www.libreoffice.org/community/design"?
+ UX principles good & relevant, but not specific enough (Heiko)
+ suggest to change this link to the HIG instead:

+ context menus
+ added to the wiki
+ sidebar + dialogs
+ will go to the wiki, BUT the undecided parts will be marked as work in progress
+ sidebar
+ good topic for the conference (Heiko) /done
+ works on now sidebar for chart with Moggi (Heiko)
+ changes the pattern a bit /part of the presentation
