* Template Manager (Akshay)
+ How to edit a template without the Template Manager?
+ see https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61396 (discussing different
solutions by the way)
+ follow suggestion from comment #18 with another menu entry "Open for Editing..."
(Heiko)
+ con: the same file dialog shows up without indication what will happen
+ have an infobar when a template is opened (Jay)
+ con: would be annoying when always shown
+ add a checkbox to the open dialog "Open as Template" (Samuel)
+ con: adds complexity to the simple file dialog (shown only when ott is selected)
+ Just edit the template when it is opened from the file dialog (Jay)
+ con: in other workflow users want to create a document based on this template (as
it is right now)
+ Allow editing only from template manager (Akshay)
+ con: there might be people who don't use the tamplate manager
-> have a dedicated file dialog for template as suggested by Cor in the bug

+ Progress for solid colors (names edit field removed)
+ Color picker in sidebar/toolbar has some issues that need to be fixed first

impediments he faced
