Subject: [libreoffice-design] Minutes of the design meeting: 2017-Aug-10 From: Heiko Tietze  Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2017 17:07:37 +0200 To: LibO Design  Present: Samuel, Stuart, Heiko

Organization

+ perhaps start one hour earlier because of ESC meeting (stuart) + lets try the current time first for a while (heiko) + make it shorter, e.g. 20min + depends on preparation of participants + thumbs/up down limits the meeting + sometimes even 40-50mins are not enough + brevity make the meeting not better => keep it at 1h + more structured agenda, only yes/no decisions + agenda is the right way + should be followed strictly => good like it is now + CC agenda on project/dev/qa/marketing mailing list + all who are interested are likely in the design ML + spamming all ML is not good => keep it in the design ML
 * Further improvements for the meeting needed?

Tickets

+ Floating menu buttons that provide access to contextual functions + Should be unobtrusive but are always always in the way + Requested here is a menu for auto fill https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82424 + And in general wrt. toolbars https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87040 + if someone implements it... (samuel) + not our workflow, wontfix (heiko) + MUFFIN-approach is our way, we'd need to make those controls flexible (stuart) => keep the tickets
 * Floating menus (options buttons)

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109118 + request to add some buttons to the MM toolbar + sounds good (heiko) + aligns with jmux? (stuart) + add them as icons without text (samuel) => thumbs up
 * Enhance mail merge toolbar

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109230 + spreadsheet is not a writer document with tables -> out of scope (heiko) + nice idea and good for new users (stuart) + if we go ahead with this idea it should behave like the (standard) page preview in Writer for consistency (heiko) + how to handle pivot table -> it's a can of worms (stuart) => thumbs up, depending on devs
 * Page layout mode for Calc

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110001 + get rid of blurry page border? + vcl dependent?, better improve hardware rendering (stuart) => discuss in ESC, ideally keep the blurry border
 * Page render issue

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111082 + change the orientation by clicking the icon => wontfix, real previews are not interactive in LibO
 * Make page orientation preview icon interactive

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87685 => thumbs down
 * Advertise LibreOffice when sending odf files per email
