||* Documentation (Olivier)||

||    +Several help pages updates from Stan Horacek, Gabor Kelemen,
Adopho Jayme.||

    + Help page for notebook barin gerrit (based on work of Szymon Klos).

       + eager to have it called Extended Toolbar in docs (Heiko)

       + concept behind may be called MUFFIN by marketing; but this
discussion has just been started

    + Patch for menu Help -> Documentation...

      that will point to documentation.libreofice.org, an entry page for
downloading finished books.

    +Initial screenshots for help pages from Katarina Behrens (bubli).

       http://vm173.documentfoundation.org/text/shared/01/05040200.xhp

       http://vm173.documentfoundation.org/text/shared/01/05020100.xhp

       http://vm173.documentfoundation.org/text/simpress/01/04030000.xhp

    + should we use it for the on-line help too ? (Kendy)

       + what's the impact on install size etc. ?

       + currently packaged along with normal images (Bubli)

           + short-listing most used languages discussed with Olivier

       + discuss with l10n list (Sophie)

           + concern wrt. languages being short-listed (Michael)

       + 'make postprocess' script (Bubli)

           + traverses folders, and finds images there

           + extended this to crawl the help repository to get

             all images into one zip archive.

       + how much does it grow the help packages ? (Kendy)

           + would be interesting to know; not a huge issue.

           + if double the size; might be interesting to have

             the screenshots on-line.

       + check the size of the help-packs with images (Olivier)

           + 6-7 Mb - it goes 10-15Mb - still a small package.

       => should give nice translated images in help everywhere.

       + using new screenshotting code from CIB (Bubli)

           + could we take screenshots at run-time instead ? (Michael)

               + instead of shipping copies of dialogs

           + basic functionality is in the core (Armin)

               + can call the generate-screenshot interface;

                 should be possible without too much work.

               + find the call-point where help is pulling it,

                 slight blinking - not yet got it running without

                 showing the dialog.

    + in the process of re-writing the wiki pages (JanI)

        + the installation procedure is hard to test on a tinderbox.

    => should only ever recommend configurations tested by CI and
tinderbox to newbies.

    + should lock the wiki pages too (Cloph)

    + plan move it to an HTML page instead (JanI)

    + good to avoid the Visual Studio integration flow (Miklos)
