        + adding locales to the code to complete translations
        + Yemba, Fulfulde etc.
        + learning how to use IRC.
 
* Improving Jenkins verification (Miklos)
    + could we add Android & Clang with our plugins enabled
       + cf. mail to the list.
    + would be happy to help setup
       + would like it supported by LODE (Norbert)
    + waiting for three lingering boxes (Norbert)
       + clang on Linux should be easy
       + not urgent, but nice to have (Miklos)
          + default clang plugins are good.
          + controversial ones get moved to store/
    + new plugins should be tested, validated & agreed on (Norbert)
       + this is moot - what actually happens (Stephan)
          + various people do build with this, and do change the code
            to make it comply
          + not so much a question of enforcing things, but cleaning
            up before vs. after master.
       + new commits adding plugins would go through CI (Michael)
