        * May-27:
          + Integrating the template manager in Impress
             (replacing the Presentation Wizard)
            + Impress Templates should be shown when starting Impress
            + Do we need any options from the presentation wizard?
            + Concerns that template manager gets too crowded
               with unnecessary functions (Heiko)
            + Remove the presentation wizard (Samuel)
            + Inform the community about the plans (blog post) and remove
               the menu entry first (in 5.2)
            + Then remove the uno cmd & underlying code in 5.3
               if not too many complaints
          + Change Thumbnail Dimensions in start center
              (More Space for Template Title)
            + Cleaner look, good idea (Heiko)
            + Afraid of preview for regular documents (Jay)
          + Should changing application filter reset category? tdf#85794
            + Yes, resetting the filter set the filter to none (All Category)
            + Close the bug
          + Change highlight colour in Template Manager
            + Should be defined by the system theme, i.e. don't change it
          + Do we want inline renaming of templates
            + No, using the context menu to rename templates is enough (all)
            + Drop the inline renaming
          + Show an indicator for the default templates,
             e.g. a favorites star (Heiko)  
         
      * Progress of Area Fill project (Rishabh)

          + Hex value is still under rework (reuse of color picker code)
          + Idea to remove CMYK and have only RGB (Jay)
          Planned for next week:
          + Keep origin color left hand static
          + Replace color dropdown by palette drowdown at solid tab
          + New color picker for gradient color chooser
