 * Present: Heiko, Samuel, Tomaz, Kendy


 * GSoC

+ https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/

+ Approved UI projects: + Improve user experience with Table Styles (mentors: dev - kendy/miklos, ui - jay/heiko) + Review of the Area Fill dialog (mentors: dev Bubli, ui - jay/heiko) + Redesigning the Template Manager (mentors: dev - samuel, ui - jay) + Review of Sidebar and it's functionality (mentors: dev Bubli, ui - jay) + Infrastructure for defining toolbars via .ui (Glade) files (mentors: dev - kendy/samuel, ui - heiko)

+ Started a weekly update meeting with Rishabh (Area Fill project) and Bubli like in SCRUM + what has been done, what is planned, where are the bottlenecks + sounds great (Kendy) + encourage your students to hack already, bonding by producing code is best :-) (Kendy)


 * Draw (Heiko)

+ Started to create metabugs for better organization (tdf#99563, tdf#99525)


 * Sidebar survey (Heiko)

+ No complaints about the proposed guidelines + Added to the HIG at the wiki


 * Help content (Jay / Kendy)

+ http://vm173.documentfoundation.org/

+ Olivier updated the xslt so that it produces a list of keywords now (Kendy) + see eg. http://vm173.documentfoundation.org/text/swriter/main0000.xhp + not sorted yet, but a good direction of developments I think :-) (Kendy)


 * needsUXEval (Heiko / Kendy)

+ now it is not necessary to use the 'ux-advise' component any more + instead, add the 'needsUXEval' keyword, and the ux-advice@ ML will be CC'd   + should we kill the 'ux-advise' component? (Samuel) + probably not yet, as it shows which bugs are untriaged (Kendy) + but when we move them to the neesUXEval keyword, then yes (Kendy)


 * Tabs etc

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99528 + http://i.imgur.com/aLP247v.png + Three options for navigation right now: tabs (e.g. paragraph style), tree (options), and icon view (hyperlink) + We should have one way of presentation (Heiko)


 * Calc Default Header (Samuel)

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99296 + Clearing the text (Table1/Page1) doesn't solve the issue since empty space remains + Disabling the header/footer by default is better (Tomaz, Samuel, Heiko) + Worries that people can find the setting (Samuel) + Excel has no header/footer, let's do the same (Kendy) + Will research a bit more, so that there is one place to set this (Samuel)


 * "Custom Animation" probably should be called just "Animation" (Samuel)

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95387 + agreed to change (all)


 * Drop the term "Manager" (Samuel)

+ Template Manager -> Templates + Extension Manager -> Extensions + Are there more? + agree (all) + Problem with "Extensions" and "Add-Ons" in the same menu then, postpone this


 * Add-Ons vs Extensions (Samuel)

+ Term "Add-Ons" used once: http://i.imgur.com/qpK5AsK.png + Rename Add-ons to Extensions and move Extensions Manager into this submenu + rename to Organize Extensions (like for Makro) (Heiko) + Drawback is a submenu with only one item by default (Samuel)


 * Shortcut for Extension Manager (Jay)

+ Is Ctrl + Alt + E a good shortcut? https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/23376/ + no objections on the ML, so pushed that (Samuel)
