    Tickets/Topics
    
     * E-Mail by using mail-merge needs handling of: "messages per connection"
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155299
       + reasonable request (Mike)
       + add to Tools > Options > Writer > Mail Merge a frame "Options" with
         "Break every [ 100] messages for [  5] s" (the values could need a review)
       => do this
    
     * Allow edit of F1 keystroke
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155671
       + makes sense to allow customization of all keys (Happy)
       + F1 has a dedicated command so it's just the limitation to customize
       => allow it
    
     * Include extension chart digitizer in LO 7 chart with Calc table
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139933
       + LibreOffice is not an OCR tool, well suited for an extension (Heiko)
       => do not add to the core functionality
    
     * More centralized endnote/footnote settings
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125876
       + rename Tools > "F & E" to "Footnotes/Endnotes settings" (Dieter)
         + +1 (Happy, Heiko)
       + add F&E Settings to context menu of footnote anchor
         + should be the fact right now
       + rename "Insert > Footnote or Endnote" to "Edit Footnote/Endnote" (Dieter)
         + rather hide this command as adding a random character is odd (Heiko)
         + it's the only way to insert characters not available as numbering
           lists like Arabic alef (Hossein)
         + keep and rename to "Insert Special Footnote/Endnote" (Happy)
       + make footnote numbering page-style-specific, rename the Insert > F&E
         dialog "Out-of-order Note" or "Special Note", provide access to Page Style
         from F&E (Eyal)
       + off topic here, depends on bug 155712; if footnotes were bound to
         page style it would be confusing for left/right varying styles
       => follow Dieter's suggestion except Special F/E
    
     * HYPERLINK DIALOG: Simplification of Hyperlink Process
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130646
       + search for bookmarks or optionally sort alphabetically in the Navigator
       + Navigator shows the URL on hover
       + use case is "referencing of terminology" which would be Insert >
         Cross-reference (Eyal)
         + or rather Alphabetical Index created per Concordance File (Heiko)
       => sufficient methods, NEEDINFO
