        + went well, Rishab did great (Jay)

    * Help updating (Kendy)

        + Jay, please feel encouraged to push good stuff to master (Kendy)

            + a survey might be better though? (Heiko)
                + what should we ask exactly? (Jay)
                + would be good to have a way to involve the people in the improving, not only yes/no (Kendy)

    * 5.0 Artwork (Jay)
     
        + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Visual_Elements should be updated with the new 5.0 stuff

        + 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:
              https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Guidelines
            + conclusion: Will mail [hidden email] (Heiko) /done
     
        + context menus
            + added to the wiki
        + sidebar + dialogs

        + 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
