 * Present: Heiko, Kendy, Samuel
 * UI changes integrated since the last meeting:

+ Comments on design blog (Heiko) + currently go to only one person (Heiko) + let's ask admins to setup a mail alias for the main account (Kendy) + Blog about menu changes (Heiko) + Reason: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91820 + to explain what has been done, what are the concepts behind that (Heiko) + sounds great (Kendy) + ideal if Jay can do that, he did all the heavy lifting... + Heiko about to work on a draft, details needed from Jay + Find&Replace dialog in the sidebar (Heiko) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96394 + Sidebar as a host for functions? - F&R is not a property like paragraph settings, for instance + it is possible from the development point of view (Heiko) + but do we want that conceptually? + another example where this was attempted: change tracking (Heiko) + conceptually - it is changing the meaning of the sidebar a bit + sidebar is not meant as a replacement for dialogs (at least currently) (Heiko) + overall, moving some modeless dialogs to sidebar could be a not-that-bad thing (Kendy) + can imagine scenarios where it is useful to be able quickly switch between eg. change tracking and search/replace (which would take too much space with just dialogs) + let's think a bit more about this, and if we agree to this, make this a GSoC project + many search&replace bugs in the bugzilla, would be good to have them in mind too when considering the move to the sidebar (Heiko) + design session to mocup it with these in mind, prioritization, etc. needed (Heiko) + GSoC not that near, let's do it in some later Friday, after the normal meeting + Save button behavior (Samuel) + implemented now + thanks so much Maxim! + not in RC2 yet (Samuel) + the only missing bit is the icon (Samuel) + Heiko will sync with Andreas if he can have that before the RC2 (Tuesday evening tagging) + Samuel will backport to libreoffice-5-1 + then 3 reviews needed for the late feature, Kendy to ask ESC on the ML + Mail merge toolbar (Kendy) + implementation mostly finished (Kendy) + bugfixing before I can merge it to master + Area Tab - https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94551 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gf7wqYszXnbrbzbyNlLKbJelMb20ssuimxfszcHP_wM/edit?usp=sharing + not published yet + ~10 comments + positive feedback + suggestion to remove the pattern editor and to rename some captions + one preference for the three-column layout + next: implement it :-) probably again good for a GSoC task    + might be interesting to have a survey about what the users actually use Draw for (Tomaž)        + Heiko will have a look / think this through    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&component=ux-advise&list_id=527515&query_format=advanced&resolution=---    + discussed, and acted on:        + [nothing today sadly]
