    Organization

       + do not comment publicly in this state
       + do not comment when needsUXEval has been removed
       + do not use NEEDINFO / use NEEDINFO to identify tickets to be resolved
       + be kind
     * Sources of official materials missing
       + take care of it AI => kendy

    Tickets
    
     * Always allow spacing to contents even when there is no border set (for frames but also page, paragraph...)
       + tdf#41542 (solved to deal with round-trips/as compatibility feature for doc files; but still disabled)
       + pro: flexibility, con: legacy issue/compatibility/odf spec?
       + good idea (jay)
       + Regina might have had concerns because of inteference with other areas
           (e.g. https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33041
           Allow page background to cover the whole page,   not only within page borders) (Cor)
       => make sure that nothing breaks but green otherwise (AI Heiko: talk to Regina)
    
     * Allow toolbars in full-screen mode?
       + e.g. quick find https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95462
       + pro: no limitation for users, con: clear concept without; only the qf-bar has a shortcut
       + full screen mode is for writing, no need to have floating toolbars (Cor, Jay)
       + How about Navigator in a floating toolbar? (Heiko)
         + Not needed (Jay), not today (Cor)
         + Technical limitation perhaps (kendy)
       => No guideline will be defined; basically the mode is to close/hide toolbars and other controls
    
     * Bring back "Clear direct formatting"
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102915
       + Pro: most users want it; Con: keep the menus clean; preference for styles
       + better processes needed; user workflow should be the first argument; useful in both (Stuart)
       + it is available at the toolbar, no need for the contex menu (Jay)
       + context menu is informative for beginners (Cor)
       + probably beginners do not know what it means (kendy)
       => bring it back but into submenu (~60% decision)
     
     * Show restart message after extension installation or update menu automatically (cornouws, 20161002):
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46279
       + I've reopened because IMO it sucks..
       + No response from the people, so maybe something we should just live with??
       + It makes sense to not ask for restart when it isn't needed. But whether this is added to the description or
         where ever is not a matter of UX I'd say. (Heiko)
       => revert the patch; add to extension spec for option to restart
