         + published May/09
         
       * Template Manager "Save Mode" (Akshay)
         + Current "Save Mode" is confusing
         + Improvement suggestion in tdf#95402 (Jay)
         + Agree to create a new, simple save dialog with folder selection (list
    box) and name input field
         
       * Area Fill progress (Rishabh)
           + Hatching controls moved from Area to hatch tab (May/13)
           + By weekend, gradient controls will follow
           * How to create pattern to add for tdf#94547? (Rishabh)
           
    * Gallery: Integration of additional symbol sets
       * How to do in general,
          + Just create files for new themes and share on wiki (Samuel, Jay)
             + Proposal to discuss next week (Heiko)
          + Implement new layout first? Or just the search, which makes good
    labelling of symbols necessary
             + https://user-prompt.com/de/libreoffice-design-session-shapes/
             + At least search for tags (Heiko): Not that easy (Samuel, Akki),
    perhaps next years GSoC
             + Adding more stuff to the cluttered gallery makes no sense (Heiko)
          + Is it possible to add glue points to gallery shapes?
             + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94433
          + Update the existing shapes? (Yes: Samuel, Jay)
             + Bullets and scale not well
             + Clean up "Computers" and merge with "Environment", "School & Uni",
    "Symbols", "Transportation", "Finance"
                + Issues happend from cleaning in the past (Stuart)
             + Merge "Diagrams" and "Text Shapes"
             + Remove "Homepage" (because of the ugly icons and the category)
                + Cannot do easily because the homepage wizard uses it (Samuel)
                + Having a new category legacy is also not possible because
    categories are folders and relevant (Samuel)
             + Remove "Sounds" (not a *visual* gallery, and the differences
    between items is unclear)
                + Keep it for Impress (Jay, Stuart)
             -> Arrows, Backgrounds, Symbols (?), Diagrams, People
             + Add Network (see below)
             + Add Icons (todo; something like Balsamiq has)
             + Add...
       * ... and network diagrams in particular
          + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80958

    * LibO Conf in Brno
       * The who's what and why
         + No plans so far
       * Template request (Sophie @ML)
         + Not yet (up to the designers)
    
    * Easy hack that need code pointers
       + tdf#74839 (Simple refresh, perhaps)
       + tdf#45028 (Change default character highlighting)
       + tdf#45864 (Update of context menu for glue points)
       + tdf#98587 (UI Shift+click layer to toggle visibility and document status
    changed)
       + tdf#49697 (Opening write-protected PDFs)
       + tdf#65346
       
       * Do we have a tag like EasyHackNeedsCompletion? (cf. tdf#45028)
         + just add "needsDevEval, topicUI" (Jay)
         
    * One-handed drag 'n drop (actually insert mode in Calc)
       * https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99457
       * would be nice to have (Jay, Samuel)
