Heiko, you again scheduled bugs of mine for a discussion without taking a moment to check whether I can join the meeting.

I asked you not to do that and I'm asking you again. This is unfair, especially after I've explicitly asked that you not do that.

The treatment of these bugs is usually entirely different based on whether I attend the session or not. What seems to happen when I'm not there is that the case for the issue is not made seriously, and thus objections or claims which I would probably be able to convincingly rebut or disprove are stated and accepted with no retort or objection.

Now, I won't deny that this is not something specific to bugs I file: A user who does not have design committee participant support from the get-go, and who does not attend a committee session, will often not have any participant serve as the advocate or champion for that bug / that user - and may not get a "fair shake" in the evaluation of their bug.

The difference in my case that you know that I can occasionally - but not always nor most times - attend. And session agendae are announced just a single day in advance, and not on the relevant bug pages - so, not enough time for me to notice. Finally, it is usually the case that multiple bugs I have filed are placed on the agenda for the same session, i.e. there are "Eyal's filings sessions", which are scheduled without me being able to react.

This is quite inappropriate and I again ask that you stop doing that. Either ping me before scheduling my filings, or make the announcement a good number of days in advance.

Also, and for the benefit of other bug filers, it would not be a bad idea to post a comment on the pages of bugs which are about to come up in committee, about the upcoming committee session.

Eyal

Tickets/Topics

  * Styles Preview should be able to show a grid of list
    styles (Tabbed UI)
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153525
    + a "More..." button could open the Stylist in the
      sidebar (Stuart, Heiko)
    + could be a small expander button on the lower right edge (Cor)
    + strong support for a Tabbed NB in general and completely
      implemented features in particular (John, Pedro, Rafael)
    + take the full space is easy to achieve, expanding into a list
      might a bit more difficult
    => do it

  * Most bundled page styles are nonsensical and/or redundant
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153534
    + every single page style has a use case (Cor)
    + never had any problems with the list of page styles (John)
    + the (small) list can also be filtered (Heiko)
    => resolve WF/NAB

  * Style organizer's "Next style"'s function not clear to user
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153600
    + label and help is clear (John)
    + labeling it "Next paragraph style" adds no information and
      it's reasonably clear what the dialog/label is talking
      about (Cor)
    => resolve WF/NAB

  * Editing:- Feature Request "go to - special" feature needed
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149933
    + introduce function to search for special content like blanks,
      constants etc. sounds like a good idea (Cor)
    + would be a comfortable shortcut for many searches (Heiko)
    + alternatively we could have a special entry in the sidebar
      + would be inconsistent as blank evaluates data while the
        existing Navigator options detect model content (Cor)
    => do it

  * Change "heading level" to "outline level"
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152605
      + see comment 14 for (tentatively accepted) proposal
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153499
      + use index level for index entry outlines
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153596
      + see also ToC dialog
    => consistency in naming is good, go for it

  * Permit "No User Input" as a data validation which would then
    permit filter sorting
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149497
    + reasonable request
    + (Standard/Auto-) Filter work on protected sheets
    + Sorting should work too, at least optional (Cor)
    + afraid of data integrity issues aka references to a certain
      cell that changes after sorting (Heiko)
    + option should not be at data validation but at the
      protect sheet dialog among the other exceptions (Heiko)
      + has the drawback that it applies to the whole sheet (Cor)
    => allow users to permit sorting
