        + ux-advice: keep it, because many bugs are not easy to file against a certain component
        + tracking of needsux: sure, can do that; but many people may understand enhancements 
similar to ux, which needs to get covered (or better we restrict our trust in the numbers)
        + no semantic difference between "component:LibreOffice keyword:needsUXeval" and 
"component:ux-advise" (Bjoern)
        + introduced keyword, to allow component linked (Heiko)
        + component for newcomers (Heiko)
        + personally like to keep both (Heiko)
        + 350 and 150 in each bucket (Bjoern)
        + component:LibreOffice is the catch-all (Bjoern)

        + get a email for every bug change and filter (Thorsten)
        + ML create false impression there might be a discussion (Thorsten)
        + actual discussion should happen (Eike)
        + RSS Feed for query: https://www.bugzilla.org/features/#buglist-formats (Jan-Marek)
AI      + move component:ux-advise to component:LibreOffice keyword:UX as ninja-edit (Robinson)
        + get checkbox for bugzilla (Heiko)

        + simplify the workflow to integrate media (like youtube, image from repo)
        + looking over replies
        + no good video playback in Impress
        + avideo is on top of everything, so it's hard (alg)
        + Whats the actual issue? fundamental problem? (Thorsten)
        + post was about integration, but replies were about playback brokage (Heiko)
        + this is supposed to work (Thorsten)

tooltip_markup properties from glade ui files"
   + create your own by updating Keywords to eg. "easyHack, difficultyBeginner, skillCpp, 
topicCleanup"
   + please remember, a codepointer is mandatory, and typically a look from an experienced developer
   + create new easy hacks from these ones or remove "needsDevEval" if not feasible):
       https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=needsDevEval
 
   + Made the statistic for needsDevEval and needsUXEval more readable (being the first
   + We currently have 163 bugs needing UX evalution, this has changed very rapidly, the UX team 
should take a look, give advice, and remove needsUXeval, so that
     the bugs can/will be worked on (most people do skip bugs when needs<foo> is set and solve 
other bugs).
