Google Summer of Code

* Template Manager (Akshay) + List view for Template manager tdf#63256 + what is the benefit? (Jay) + users demand that - to see the paths, and fit more on the screen (Samuel) + inspired by a bugreport (Samuel) + the main point is to see the previews (Jay) + scrolling not an issue - there is 'search' (Jay) + of course file manager has a different demands, there it makes sense (Jay) + could be done: split view - list on the left, previews on the right (Heiko) + Removal of bottom controls in Template Selection dialog + other controls to be added + is that on by default (that every user sees that when launching impress)? (Kendy) + it is off by default, happy about that (Kendy) + prefer a button in a toolbar (or something), instead of starting with a modal dialog (Kendy) + should be on by default with easy means of disabling (Jay) + would prefer a re-think of how people create documents (Kendy) + ie. how the people open "presentation app" + or info bar - but I hate modal dialogs ;-) (Kendy)               + have a doc about the 'new document interaction' (Jay)                    + https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Ri2jznhcQmCtk3cVygEhwN7pi8FkbIVV_OvRQce_n6Y        + template wizard removed in master (Samuel)            + but decided not to touch 5.2 (Samuel)            + past the feature freeze anyway, would need some additional approvals (Kendy)        + probably not a prio now? (Heiko)            + let's involve the original bugreporters, and check with them if the improved template              manager now fits their needs (Jay / Samuel)            + will comment in the bug (Samuel)

* Progress of Area Fill project (Rishabh) + Bubli is concerned about feature loss when CMYK would be removed + Keep the code and remove the access to it UI-wise; not simple because there are some bugs + Option 1: Do it, decided by UX team - (samuel, jay, heiko) + Option 2: Ask via design ML       + Option 3: Ask via G+ survey - (bubli) -> remove access in the UI, keep the code to be removed later -> tell people in the upcoming blog post + Color picker needs some time + Pattern: large number of predefined patterns to aim for compatibility or have a smaller number for simplicity + Hatching: remove this in favor of (better) patterns

* Progress of Sidebar Improvements (Susobhan) + Still working on page deck, header/footer panel + Input from Writer hacker is needed + Two panels under review (page format - goes into master, page margin - issue with duplicated code) + Page content panel on Properties deck will be removed soon; new page deck is comming + Planned: outstanding issues in area panel - https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90078
