    + Chained textboxes core functionality (Matteo / GSoC)
    + Better placement of arrow style dropdowns (Jay)
    + AutoCorrect entry in the context menu (Jay)
    + Table styles in Writer core functionality (Kendy, Alex / GSoC)
 
* LibreOffice Conference
 
    + a very good one
    + Jay missed, people were asking :-)
    + ~4 Design / UX related talks (Bubli, Heiko, Kendy, Tomaž)
    + encouraging spirit, interesting conference (Heiko)
 
* Table styles (Kendy)
 
    + core functionality now implemented & pushed to master (Kendy)
        + when an table AutoFormat is applied, it keeps updating the table (Kendy)
        + missing pieces: import/export, better UI (Kendy)
    + would be good to have a Friday session about that (Kendy)
        + already collected stuff in a doc (Jay)
        + https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zOsEe_cj-VnFyuPZcld4-WPjwmdsfsaHuOO8e2dfhU0/edit
        + let's try 9th October (Kendy)
 
* Bug discussions
 
    + NAVIGATOR: Reverse the behaviour of the page number control
      https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89553
    + problem that there is a spin button, and pushing the 'up' arrow actually does PgDown
        + proposal: change to input field + have PgUp and PgDown buttons there (Heiko)
            + like [down] [input-line-with-the-number [up] (Heiko)

                https://bug-attachments.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=119144

            + would slightly prefer [up] and [down] close to each other so that you don't
              have to travel with the mouse too much when you touch it one more
              time than desired ;-) (Kendy)
            + already quite many buttons there :-( (Jay)
            + we shouldn't change the meaning of the buttons - in Gtk3 they are presented
              as [+] and [-], we would change the meaning there (Kendy)
                 + so either we should have own buttons there (Heiko's proposal),
                   or let it be (Kendy)
        + conclusion: Let it be for now (wontfix)
    + actually it turns out there are many inconsistencies & bugs in the navigation panel
        + sometimes the view is changed, sometimes the cursor position
        + the spinfield is not updated when changing the position in the document
        + etc.
        + and it looks too packed at the top, and empty at the bottom
        + have a proposal with better layout (Jay)
            + https://bug-attachments.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=113625
              https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89566
            + looks like a good topic for one of the Friday session? (Kendy)
