* Documentation (Olivier)

                + help pages for PIVOT CHARTS (ohallot)
                + Improvements on EPUB help (ohallot)
                + fixes, fixes, fixes… (fitoshido, ohallot, Sophia_s, A. Gelmini)

                + New help is packageable (sberg)
                + CSS enhancements to prettify (fitoshido)
      + investigating on-line editors
            + no conclusion yet.
                
        + Proposal for handling multimedia.

        Objective of Multimedia:
        • Will NOT replace textual description of LO resource or feature.
        • Be a rich support for textual contents
        • Introduce examples, use cases or tutorials on feature / resource.
        • Indirectly: motivate communities to produce contents and contribute.

        Issue: 
        • Multimedia contents is asked to be localized on release,
          for some languages.

       Concerns:
       • Not every community has resource for localization or
         local contents production to match release deadlines.
       • Localized captions not even accepted in some languages.

       Further information on New Help
       • New help is now build-able and package-able
         (thanks to Stephan Bergman and David Tardon)
       • New Help build distinct when ONLINE or OFFLINE
          ◦ Offline is package-able.
       • OFFLINE help already has no multimedia (<object> tag is not rendered)
       • ONLINE help has multimedia (master).
         ◦ https://help.libreoffice.org/6.1/en-US/text/scalc/main0000.html

       Options:
       1. Remove all multimedia from Help either online and offline: 
          1. Problem vanish.
       2. Remove all multimedia from offline Help.
          => Done already
       3. Implement language based multimedia enabler in XSLT / makefile
          1. --without-help-multimedia=fr
          2. if $lang = “fr” then multimedia > /dev/null
       4. Have multimedia enabled and localize <object>
          1. Change href= to localized contents
          2. set width=”0” and height=”0” if no localized contents.

     + was this built in discussion with l10n team ? (Michael)
         + not presented the options to them (Olivier)
            + would like to have ESC input

     + l10n team are waiting for his proposals (Sophie)
         + can we add – when video scripts are made available.
         + where are these published before embedding ?
         + expect each community to decide if they want it ? (Olivier)

     + a 5th option ? Different flavours of help  with & without ? (Heiko)
         + off-line help has no MM enabled already (Olivier)
            + the on-line site can have this. 

     => discuss this with the l10n teams for a decision.

  + Comment # 22 on tdf#115344 “Bring back Format > Columns” from Kyle White        
    “I wish to take this point in time to thank everyone involved in the process of
    investigating and discussing the pros/cons of this item.
    It has been totally fascinating watching the process that has taken place. 
    This is the first time I have ever followed the entire process of the changing
    of a feature.
    Having followed the progression from StarOffice 3 on OS/2, to the current
    edition of LibreOffice on MacOS X, I now have a much better grasp of the level
    of dedication and commitment the developers have for this project.
    Once again, Thank You, all, very much!”
