          k-j is working on it.
    + at the moment we don't have many artists for bigger graphics
    + should we advertise that on the social media etc.? (Kendy)
AI      + redmine thread - will add, and also twitter + G+ (Jay)

    + Default to large toolbar icons on Windows (Kendy)
 
* Last week's discussions that need a resolution:
 
    + "Gallery" was renamed to "Clip Art Gallery" in the sidebar (Jay)
      felt the use of the word 'Gallery' wouldnt be wise as i've
      proposed new sidebar tabs like 'Styles Gallery'
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86040
      https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/boards/1/topics/430
        + changed that, is that suitable? (Jay)
        + primary reason: better understanding, because gallery may mean
          many things (Jay)
        + but the problem is that there might be also sounds and other
          stuff (Jay)
        + another possibility might be a "Styles Gallery" (Jay)
            + if we talking the tooltip, could be "Gallery - Clip Arts,
              Sounds and more"? (Kendy)
AI      + will try if the long tooltip can be there, if not, revert (Jay)

    + Adding View > Graphics (Jay, Adolfo)
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86184
        + possibilities to turn on / off things like the non-printing
          characters, etc. (Jay)
        + not sure about the use case (Kendy)
            + if something is slow, we should make it faster in the
              first place :-) (Kendy)
            + the speed is not the only thing - might be useful
              otherwise (Jay)
        + would prefer not to introduce this :-) (Kendy)
        + let's leave it for the moment as is & see more in the issue

    + Merge Document being outside of the Track Changes submenu (Jay, Cor)
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85046
        + changed to main entry in the Edit (Jay)
        + I like this (Kendy)
        + no disagreement - let's try this for the feature freeze
           + oppose: it's contrary to the nature of the feature... pls
             read comment #8 (Cor)
 
* Alex pasted this in the google chat while we were at last week's
  meeting (Jay)

    + Hi Jan, I can't join this week since I have a lab report that's
      due. What might be worth discussing is whether we want to go for
      a flatter look regarding the text icons:
      the second one in 
https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/attachments/download/358/bold%20icon.svg
      All the flat text icons: https://github.com/libodesign/icons/blob/master/text.svg
        + icons too dark in the 4.3 (Jay)
        + did some polls on this on twitter etc. (Jay)
        + Alex suggested an icon with a plain color
        + best to have decide between Jay and Alex (Kendy)
            + both look fine to me (Kendy)
            + likes the 2nd one (the Jay's one) (Ahmed)
        + in general, best if you agree between the guys doing the
          icons :-) (Kendy)
            + of course, if something becomes controversial, please
              bring it to the meeting
 
* HIG's
 
    + LibreOffice uses the GNOME HIG's (Kendy)
        + but which ones? - there are 2 different ones ;-) (Heiko)
    + https://developer.gnome.org/hig-book/3.2/design-window.html.en (Kendy)
        + "This version of the Human Interface Guidelines was written
          for designers and developers of GNOME 2 applications....")
    + HIG for Gtk3:
      http://blogs.gnome.org/aday/2014/08/21/new-human-interface-guidelines-for-gnome-and-gtk/
      not finished, AFAIK, (Heiko)
 
* Pushing text wrap into calc 4.3 (Jay)
 
    + https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/12254
    + pushed now

* Important shortcuts additions (Jay)

    + shortcut for AutoSpellcheck (ctrl+shift+F7 globally used by
      Hangul/Hanja Conversion, shift+F7 used by trace presedents in
      calc)
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82969#c5
        + important when we don't have that in toolbar any more (Jay)
        + what about Alt+F7? (Kendy)
            + will check (Jay)
            + but Alt is not good for a general shortcut (Heiko)
        + conclusion: Least problematic is to switch Shift+F7
    + shortcut for track changes (ctrl+shift+E newly taken up by Edit Mode)
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86183
        + MS Office uses Ctrl+Shift+E
        + but the Ctrl+Shift+E is recent addition (Kendy)
            + so still can be changed; let's find something new for the
              Edit Mode (Kendy)
AI          + OK (Jay)

* Menu Improvements (Jay)
 
    + File menu - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=109001
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85945
       + I like it (Kendy)
    + Impress View Menu - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=109353
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86209
       + quite unorganized (Jay)
       + rearranged to be more similar to other modules (Jay)
       + I like it too (Kendy)
    + any objections to these re-works?
       + no objections
 
* Clipboard and background color survey result published (Jay, Heiko)
 
    + http://user-prompt.com/de/standard-toolbar-in-libreoffice/
    + clarification of stance that i had last week
       + Kendy misinterpreted the conclusion a bit at the ESC - not
         necessary to get more data, more important to allow smoother
         transition (Kendy)
    + google docs leaves only the paste and format painter, so this
      might be a good first step to get people off the toolbar for
      clipboard functions
       + I like this approach (Kendy)
       + conclusion: let's try to remove Cut + Copy for 4.5
    + Arguments: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84848
* Sifr survey preliminary results (Heiko)

     + 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BYyV9O4frnRrcwyxIZly_7gGQp8zhdKGilHi7CQ3v64/edit?usp=sharing
     + results relating to which icon sets to keep
     + ~60% use tango (46% stick with default), 21% use sifr, 8% use
       oxygen, 6% galaxy, 3% crystal
     + 41% windows, 52% linux, 6% mac
     + on mac: its a 50/50 split between sifr and tango, though
       47% don't change the default tango
     + would be good to get what the breakdown of icon sets used by
       different OSes (Jay)

* Survey to revamp Calc toolbar (Jay, Heiko)

     + http://user-prompt.com/how-do-you-want-libreoffice-calcs-toolbar-configured/

* Opening track changes toolbar (Jay)

    + toolbar should open when opening document with track changes
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83958
    + toolbar should open whe user clicks Edit > Track Changes > Record
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85741
    + would be useful (Kendy)
    + would need the possibility to turn off the auto-popping up tooo (Cor)
        + as it is with the tables / bullets etc. toolbars
AI  + who will do that? :-) - find out (Kendy)

* Automatic small or large icons for all platforms (Jay)

    + With automatic set for icon sizes in LO, below 1280 should be set
      to small.
    + not on the other OS'es, and people did not complain (Kendy)

* Sifr Icons (Kendy)
 
    + got SVG sources from many people, Big Thank You! (Kendy)
        + now need to categorize that a bit
        + TODO count coverage / create page showing the progress
        + Papamatti and Jay are working on improving sifr icons, so
          there are a number of new or modified icons that arent in the
          SVG sources, but are available on github.
    + current state?
      https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/boards/1/topics/35
      (papamatti working on it).
    + problem pushing - cannot push any more (Ahmed)
        + https://github.com/libodesign/flat-icons - old, locked
        + https://github.com/libodesign/icons
            + new one
            + has 2 layers - one for Tango, the other for Sifr
            + helps to get the idea from Tango, and draw Sifr
AI:     + will ask Mirek for access to the new repo (Ahmed)
 
* Making sifr default on Mac (Steve, Jay)

    + with Mac OSX now having flat icons, it would be useful to have
      sifr as default
    + how iWork Pages looks now - http://i.imgur.com/P5X7FSt.jpg
    + we should want to promote the icon set build by LibO, as Mac OSX
      is a good starting spot
    + sifr incomplete - is there a technical solution for the missing
      icons?
        + like change the colors of the HiContrast to something gray? (Kendy)
        + does not look like it is possible to use it that way (Steve)
        + Writer by default already complete (Steve)
            + and the fastest evolving icon theme (Steve)
    + Sifr icons improvements
      https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/boards/1/topics/35?r=439
    + conclusion: Let's do it for 4.4
        + if too problematic for people, can revert for the final
          release (Kendy)
        + fixing / introducing new icons in the beta phase is not an
          issue (Kendy)
        + could post a note to
          https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42082
AI  + Will do the switch (Kendy), Steve can test then, has a Mac
    + any plans for Sifr to work as hicontrast? (Heiko)
        + Sifr uses one color, the rest is handled by transparency (Jay)
        + easy to do this programmaticaly then :-) (Kendy)
            + just to change this color to any other on the fly - white
              for Hicontrast eg. (Kendy)
 
* Similar base code for impress and draw causing problems (Jay)
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84258
 
    + they are sharing the same code, which is causing problems with
      labels and icons
    + the word 'slide' appearing in draw
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84208
    + the word 'page' appearing in impress
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84257
    + shouldn't be hard to add appropriate .uno: commands (Kendy)
        + sort one out, and Easy Hack-ize the others?
        + add what .uno: commands need such handling to the bug
AI      + will collect them (Jay)
 
* Controversial changes in bugzilla (Cor)
 
    + when a consensus is reached, can still go to 4.4 if it is a bugfix (Kendy)
    + if it is a feature - then either can be approved as a late feature
      (via ESC)
        + or has to wait for 4.5 (Kendy)
 
* Sidebar Issues (Jay)
 
    + Swapping increase and decrease buttons in Sidebar
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85776
    + cropped elements
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79758
    + adding style drop down
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73071
    + OK to change as you think should be best (Kendy)
        + its (supposed to be) not open by default, not expect changes
          to be controversial
