        + if you are a mentor, please touch the [I want to mentor this] button for projects you like
        + even UX people can mentor / co-mentor, big part of the work is non-technical (Kendy)
            + asking about the status, checking the results from the high-level point of view etc.
            + and a developer can help with the code pointers / review of the code
            + worked well the last year [co-mentoring Jay + Bubli] (Jay)
    
        + UI Proposals
            + Application Themes
            + Improve The Special Characters Dialogue in LibreOffice
            + Improve user experience with Table Styles (mentors: dev - kendy/miklos(?), ui - )
            + Improving the TOC-dialog
            + Review of the Area Fill dialog (mentors: dev Bubli , ui - )
            + Redesigning the Template Manager (mentors: dev - , ui - )
            + Review of Sidebar and it's functionality (mentors: dev Bubli , ui - )
            + Infrastructure for defining toolbars via .ui (Glade) files (mentors: dev - kendy/samuel)
    
    * Bring back the legacy Save toolbar button as customization option? (Heiko)
    
        + Maxim sorted this out - thank you! :-)
    
    * Draw-related survey (Heiko)
    
        + results finished, ready for publishing
        + many good ideas there
    
    * Sidebar survey
    
        + first results (Heiko)
            + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/SidebarUsage
    
        + finished
        + https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XknvPqz58hYc_NeY2-Ky-L92MkLdYqs7SJCCxC3DX6w/edit#heading=h.rwnqe5haxk5v
        + hope to publish it the next week
    
        + please read it & review, will affect our HIG
    
    * Single Toolbar Mode & Notebookbar (Jay/Kendy)
    
        + the toolbar for single toolbar mode is in (Jay)
    
        + notebookbar code changed too (Kendy)
            + now it is possible to have different top-level .ui files in different apps, for example
              notebookbar.ui for Writer (Kendy)
            + would be good to do the single toolbar mode using a .ui file too at some stage, so that we can
              easily hide the 'classic' toolbars in the simplebar or notebookbar cases using the same code (Kendy)
    
    * Help content (Jay)
    
        + reviewed the xslt approach for now, like that it uses the same filter (with small tweaks)
          as the internal help (Kendy)
            + problem there though with importing from other .xhp files (Jay)
              https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94017
              e.g. https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Table - '7.1 Table AutoFormat' should be '8. Table AutoFormat'
            + will look at the PHP approach too (Kendy)
    
    * Blog (Heiko)
    
        + still badly spammed :-(
        + would be good to have a better anti-spam filter or so on the blog (if possible)
    
        + can you provide some data about how many people participated in the surveys so far? (Kendy)
            + not that easily, but will try (Heiko)
