          + Styles Panel patch finished, up for review - https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/26020/
          + Merged Page Background Panel to master (from Impress to Draw), should be in 5.2

    Enhancements and proposals
        + Push extensions (Heiko)
          + e.g. tdf#71176, tdf#91874, or color replacer, or overall paragraph changer etc.
          + Extensions keep the main UI clean and simple but allows to enhance the app for special use cases
          + Suggestion is to have a separate component/keyword in the bugtracker for tasks that can be enhancements
          + Find users/coders to work on extensions
          + We have a component extension (kendy), qa team should make clear what it is used for (Jay)
          + Would need some needDevEval before moving a bug to this component (Jay)
          + Will bring it up to ESC for pushing it to the community
         
        + Disable automatic linking of urls by default (Samuel)

          + Bug closed as WONTFIX
