 * GSoC project "100 paper cuts"

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68271 + comparison done (Jay), workflow test pending (Stuart) + don't change (cor, stuart, thomas) + consistency with other programs is a plus (jay) => WONTFIX
 * Paragraph selection with or without breaks

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114817 + ideally we get the new and old bitmaps into some kind of voting + https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O0-09bhr0dHQ3VQTED2wFM9WBgEY5v-4VM7iMSS4BVY + 10 replies so far, let's see if more people vote => 16 replies, patch should get prepared -> Andreas?
 * New bitmaps for the Gallery

Tickets

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74580 + load a CSV in Calc shows always the import dialog + not too special workflow to read many documents + asked some people, most are against the idea as command line and macro exists + special uno:command are an option + checkbox in open dialog to bypass import dialog (jay) + use or to bypass dialog when it is intended to appear (jay) in the file dialog when pressing open button, clicked the file in start center, or drag and drop + should be a generic idea meaning pressing shift on open, or whatever, works also when implemented in for instance the export to png dialog (heiko) + rather improve the import dialog with use of parser settings saved to profile (stuart) + introduce some kind of heuristics that detects the format and only asks if unsure (csongor) + simplest heuristic would be the URL and after first time reading file from this place the dialog doesnt pops-up again (jay) perhaps plus a filename comparison (./file1.csv=./file2.csv) => comment ticket with ideas and remove keyword
 * Bypassing import dialogs

+ ... + suggest to make the tc working as loading a template with the exception to not override what the user modified (Heiko) + document themes are worth to consider as alternative solution (stuart) => double-check MSO (Thomas)
 * Template changer (continued from previous meetings)
