+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90006 + Tools > Spelling > Options... > User-defined, New allows to add as user dictionaries + unknown words can be assigned to any of the predefined dics + users can separate rarely used or usecase-wise 'project related' items to different dictionaries => WFM
 * Enhance spell checking with 'rarely used' flag/book

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107003 + Do not enable the 'relative' option when the object receives a frame? + Without releative property the image is cropped if rotated or when the frame is resized + Option a) unset relative settings before the operation + Option b) let the user decide whether the relative setting is enabled or not in the caption dialog (feedback) + none is a good solution => WFM
 * Rotation of images with frames (ie. caption)

+ Loss of functionality reported at the ux-advice ML http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/GSOC-work-on-Special-Character-dialog-td4217853.html + Strongly against the request to keep the input line for combination of characters (Heiko) => Please file a bug report that blocks to bug tdf#109207 to discuss the topic
 * GSoC'17 Special Caharcters, Input line missing (Stuart)

Cheers, Heiko
