https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gf7wqYszXnbrbzbyNlLKbJelMb20ssuimxfszcHP_wM/edit?usp=sharing
 
    + talked about the Area properties (Heiko)
         + unfortunately did not finish in time yet (Heiko)
         + more mockups there (Heiko)
    + included color widget (Heiko)
    + some ideas harder to implement (Heiko)
    + bitmap background handling not convenient (Heiko)
    + but overall the proposal nearly finished (Heiko)
        + should publish that when done (Heiko)
            + proved useful with the print dialog (Heiko)
 
* Dedicated Design team blog (Heiko)
 
    + included in the official LibreOffice blog, or better to have a design-only one? (Heiko)
    + TDF-infra OK with the idea of design.libreoffice.org (Jay)
        + sounds good (Kendy)
        + initially ~3 people + inclusive for others (Jay)
    + conclusion: Jay will talk to the tdf infra guys to set that up
 
* Bug discussions
 
    + nothing this week
 
* Help updating (Kendy)
 
    + new release 3.1.3 on Monday (Kendy)
        + but more fixes in the meantime again :-) (Jay)
    + help-related meta bugs:
        + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94016
        + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93580
    + wikihelp? (Jay)

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MULCsm8gD-QPv-W1LbHBynnY0eD16Q6uXsrzpgfJdvQ/edit?usp=sharing
            + idea to use xml editor (Kendy)
            + steps needed:
                + hooks on help.libreoffice.org redirecting to editable page
                + per-user session - own git checkout
                + some way of editing - either the xml help or the xml <-> html mapping
                + commit creation in the git + push to gerrit
            + overall - like the idea to have some infra on top of the current help,
              easier than the entire editable wiki (Kendy)

* START CENTER: Set new open remote file icon (Jay)
 
    + https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/19178
        + a comment there: "maybe the Open Remote button should be merged with the Open button,
          make it a split button"?
        + this is actually orthogonal to the icon (Kendy)
            + let's merge the icon if people happy with the look (Kendy)
            + it should be pushed (Stuart)
        + the split button was considered during the original design of the feature, but decided to
          have a separate button to make the feature more visible (Jay/Kendy)
    + should the button change from "Open Remote File" to "Remote Files"? (Heiko)
        + Agree (Stuart, Adolfo, Jay, Tomaz)
