                + synched to mirrors, released
                + quite a lot of over-complicated fixes on -4-0-2

        + 3.6.6 rc2 commit deadline - Tuesday April 2nd
                + should be the final build.
                + didn't we want to say we want to support 3.6 longer
                  because of incompatibilities [ Michael S. ]

          have a non-translated different string (Andras)
        + feedback more neutral, potnentially less scary (Norbert)
        + fix - pending website getting a 'feedback' page that tunnels
          the version etc. information
                + could fix the URL in the code if we have a better page.
        + use a facebook page ? ;-) (Andras)
        => to the website guys ...

        + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Events/ImpressSprint2013

        + one big bug with a lot of duplicates:
                + https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60215
        + only settings are stored if different from the default / toggled (Stephan)
        + we could change the default to not use cached values (Kohei)
AI:             + do this rather than removing the feature (Eike, Kohei, Markus)
                + because inherited number formats are not in the file-format
                + only get after calculation is done.
        + or:
                + get rid of inherited number formats ?
                + feature makes the code so complex.
                + would improve interop too.
AI:             + write to the UX list suggesting removal of feature (Markus)

* Calc core re-factoring (Kohei)
