    Tickets 
    
     * Please change the "paragraph symbol" of "Traditional Chinese version" to "↵"
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121177
       + tend to close as WF because the pilcrow is standardized and used not only
         the document but also at many places such as icons and 
         Tools > Options > Writer > Formatting Aids (Heiko)
       + not needed to be changed (Franklin)
       + unclear how other programs deal with the topic
       + would require an additional option that increase the complexity
       => resolve as WFM
    
     * Open Wiki page with information on new or changed behavior...
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89660
       => make this a duplicate of 69042
     * Add a "Release Notes/What's New" window to be shown upon first run
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69042
       + new release, copy of /link to release notes
       => go for it
     * Implementing a 'Welcome' dialog on first launch (creation of new user profile)
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91441
       + first start, ideally more design oriented and in a wizard style
       + was removed because users considered it as annoying (see bug....)
       => resolve as WF
     * Tip-of-the-day dialog
       + every start, content of https://pad.documentfoundation.org/p/marketing #388ff
       + https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/69498/
       + dialog works, review pending; when done marketing/documentation should get involved to improve the list of tips
       + ideally we have the list in the wiki (Franklin)
       => work in progress
    
     * toggeling settings - e.g. threaded calculations - need restart, UI unclear about this
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124323
       + same is also true for T>O>View>Graphics Output, for example
       + message box, tooltip, infobar, static text, footnote...
       + on macOS we have a tooltip (Requires restart) and a message box restart now/later,
         but that's not working on Linux, neither it's shown for Calc - multithreading
       => fix the bug (and maybe change to presentation to restart from a dialog to a static text next to help)
    
     * Print (selected) pages radio button as layout
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122707
       + layout follows functionality and that's missing
       => keep it and have the discussion on an extra ticket
    
     * Rework of Options dialog
       * Requirements/Tickets: https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/RyJoZ8Nt6bNfSmt
         + request on BZ to make clear where the setting applies (general like OpenGL, per module like units, 
           per document like Grids)
         + simplified dialog
         + apply the changes (without closing the dialog) and to reset to factory defaults (or previous configuration)
         + search for keyword
       + Categorization: https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/cPGtpCTJKTLRNBF
         + idea is to find out what property is basic and what is used by experts
         + large list of sections (bold headlines) assigned to persona
         + to avoid asking the community about all options we should narrow down the questionable items and do 
           the assignment first in the team - and get more input later on questionable items
       * Basic design: https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/6BqcybB3RdCNSHL
         + depending on the outcome of the steps before we can talk about the UI
         + Andreas: disagree with simple/advanced but proposing controls to expand the options; would be 
           nice to pick up the concepts from Writer; maybe a landing page
      => to backlog
