        + 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
            + Stuart recommends to wait with pushing the HIG to a more prominent place until it is more refined. (Stuart/Heiko)
                + then again - never let perfect be enemy of the good ;-) (Kendy)
                + I think it would be enough to improve the look of
                  https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Guidelines a bit, and switch (Kendy)
        + sidebar + dialogs
            + added to wiki

            + he's just finished another round of bug fixes
            + he's asked that people test the sidebar and submit bugs using tdf#91063 in the blocks field

        + want to create a set of chart styles (Jay)

            + will ask Moggi what is possible to implement within the sidebar
            + research work
