 * GSoC

+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas

+ https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/ + if you are a mentor, please touch the [I want to mentor this] button for projects you like + even UX people can mentor / co-mentor, big part of the work is non-technical (Kendy) + asking about the status, checking the results from the high-level point of view etc.       + and a developer can help with the code pointers / review of the code + worked well the last year [co-mentoring Jay + Bubli] (Jay)

+ UI Proposals + Application Themes + Improve The Special Characters Dialogue in LibreOffice + Improve user experience with Table Styles (mentors: dev - kendy/miklos(?), ui - ) + Improving the TOC-dialog + Review of the Area Fill dialog (mentors: dev Bubli, ui - ) + Redesigning the Template Manager (mentors: dev -, ui - ) + Review of Sidebar and it's functionality (mentors: dev Bubli, ui - ) + Infrastructure for defining toolbars via .ui (Glade) files (mentors: dev - kendy/samuel)


 * Bring back the legacy Save toolbar button as customization option? (Heiko)

+ Maxim sorted this out - thank you! :-)


 * Draw-related survey (Heiko)

+ results finished, ready for publishing + many good ideas there


 * Sidebar survey

+ first results (Heiko) + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/SidebarUsage

+ finished + https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XknvPqz58hYc_NeY2-Ky-L92MkLdYqs7SJCCxC3DX6w/edit#heading=h.rwnqe5haxk5v + hope to publish it the next week

+ please read it & review, will affect our HIG


 * Single Toolbar Mode & Notebookbar (Jay/Kendy)

+ the toolbar for single toolbar mode is in (Jay)

+ notebookbar code changed too (Kendy) + now it is possible to have different top-level .ui files in different apps, for example notebookbar.ui for Writer (Kendy) + would be good to do the single toolbar mode using a .ui file too at some stage, so that we can easily hide the 'classic' toolbars in the simplebar or notebookbar cases using the same code (Kendy)


 * Help content (Jay)

+ reviewed the xslt approach for now, like that it uses the same filter (with small tweaks) as the internal help (Kendy) + problem there though with importing from other .xhp files (Jay) https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94017 e.g. https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Table - '7.1 Table AutoFormat' should be '8. Table AutoFormat' + will look at the PHP approach too (Kendy)


 * Blog (Heiko)

+ still badly spammed :-(   + would be good to have a better anti-spam filter or so on the blog (if possible)

+ can you provide some data about how many people participated in the surveys so far? (Kendy) + not that easily, but will try (Heiko)
