    * Present: Heiko, Samuel, Tomaz, Kendy
    
    * GSoC
    
        + https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/
    
        + Approved UI projects:
            + Improve user experience with Table Styles (mentors: dev - kendy/miklos, ui - jay/heiko)
            + Review of the Area Fill dialog (mentors: dev Bubli , ui - jay/heiko)
            + Redesigning the Template Manager (mentors: dev - samuel, ui - jay)
            + Review of Sidebar and it's functionality (mentors: dev Bubli , ui - jay)
            + Infrastructure for defining toolbars via .ui (Glade) files (mentors: dev - kendy/samuel, ui - heiko)
    
        + Started a weekly update meeting with Rishabh (Area Fill project) and Bubli like in SCRUM
            + what has been done, what is planned, where are the bottlenecks
            + sounds great (Kendy)
            + encourage your students to hack already, bonding by producing code is best :-) (Kendy)
    
    * Draw (Heiko)
    
        + Started to create metabugs for better organization (tdf#99563, tdf#99525)
    
    * Sidebar survey (Heiko)
    
        + No complaints about the proposed guidelines
        + Added to the HIG at the wiki
    
    * Help content (Jay / Kendy)
    
        + http://vm173.documentfoundation.org/
    
        + Olivier updated the xslt so that it produces a list of keywords now (Kendy)
            + see eg. http://vm173.documentfoundation.org/text/swriter/main0000.xhp
            + not sorted yet, but a good direction of developments I think :-) (Kendy)
    
    * needsUXEval (Heiko / Kendy)
    
        + now it is not necessary to use the 'ux-advise' component any more
        + instead, add the 'needsUXEval' keyword, and the ux-advice@ ML will be CC'd
       
        + should we kill the 'ux-advise' component? (Samuel)
            + probably not yet, as it shows which bugs are untriaged (Kendy)
            + but when we move them to the neesUXEval keyword, then yes (Kendy)
    
    * Tabs etc
    
        + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99528
        + http://i.imgur.com/aLP247v.png
        + Three options for navigation right now: tabs (e.g. paragraph style), tree (options), and icon view (hyperlink)
        + We should have one way of presentation (Heiko)
    
    * Calc Default Header (Samuel)
    
        + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99296
        + Clearing the text (Table1/Page1) doesn't solve the issue since empty space remains
        + Disabling the header/footer by default is better (Tomaz, Samuel, Heiko)
        + Worries that people can find the setting (Samuel)
        + Excel has no header/footer, let's do the same (Kendy)
        + Will research a bit more, so that there is one place to set this (Samuel)
    
    * "Custom Animation" probably should be called just "Animation" (Samuel)
    
        + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95387
        + agreed to change (all)
    
    * Drop the term "Manager" (Samuel)
    
        + Template Manager -> Templates
        + Extension Manager -> Extensions
        + Are there more?
        + agree (all)
        + Problem with "Extensions" and "Add-Ons" in the same menu then, postpone this
    
    * Add-Ons vs Extensions (Samuel)
    
        + Term "Add-Ons" used once: http://i.imgur.com/qpK5AsK.png
        + Rename Add-ons to Extensions and move Extensions Manager into this submenu + rename to Organize Extensions (like for Makro) (Heiko)
        + Drawback is a submenu with only one item by default (Samuel)
    
    * Shortcut for Extension Manager (Jay)
    
        + Is Ctrl + Alt + E a good shortcut?
          https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/23376/
        + no objections on the ML, so pushed that (Samuel)
