       [ ongoing ]
    + Budget ranking by next week (All)

* Release Engineering update (Christian)
    + no releases planned this week.
    + 6.0.5 – RC2 status
        + tagged this week; all builds except Linux-32 on pre-release server
           + re-building Linux-32
           + expect to announce it as final tomorrow
           + very few patches vs. rc1.
    + 6.1.0 beta 2 status
        + released it on Sunday.
    + 6.1 late features
        + calc threading default / fixing (Michael)
           + pleased with progress, few issues open
           + recursion issues nailed, cleaned-up.
           + suggest leaving it on for the .0 release
              + hesitant yes (Eike)   
           + crash-testing done (Caolan)
              + before “extra threading” 2-3 moved to 37 issues
              + will continue to work on that (Michael)
                 + easy to turn off in an RC if necessary.
        + writer – red-lining re-factoring (Michael S)
           + nothing happened last week,
           + thorsten merged stuff to 6.1 – in disabled state 
              + easy to play with environment variable.  
           + not on as experimental feature – doesn’t work well enough yet.
           + got a new crash (Xisco)
              + Michael to poke soon.  
        + Help format (Stephan/Olivier)
           + with extension, dialog, we load old-style help viewer
             for all extensions installed
           + extension help still not integrated well.
           + not added into the hierarchy or integrated into indexes.
           + fixes very old bug wrt. on-line help usage too.
           + slightly less featureful, but somewhat working. 
           + extended tooltips don’t work with the new help
              + not going to work on that from now (Stephan)
           + discussion to move tooltips to a field in the dialogs (Olivier)
              + placeholder in dialog widgets for tooltips.
              + Tomaz V has some scripts that might help.
           + what should we do ?
              + go ahead & fix things when we get time (Olivier)
                 + lots of advantages from new help
                 + main issue is to disconnect from the old help
           => lets go with it and hope for resource to fix tooltips
AI:           + enable new help for tinderboxes (Christian)
        + Get-involved info-bar & Help/About menu (Kendy)
           + merged.
        + Making the Notebookbar non-experimental (Heiko)
           + will not be ready – needs communicating

           + undocumented since OO.o
           + Handy macros for the Basic programmer
           + Question raised: Are these libs supported ?
               + if present & used for decades sounds sensible (Michael)

           + Working on migrating ODFAuthors PLONE to TDF’s NC+LOOL.

       + no complaints on facebook.
       + gtk1, gtk2, 3 – is fine (Caolan)
          + imagine doesn’t work for KDE either.
       + more modern stuff with SCIM etc. are fine.
          + not expect KDE5 to rely on that (Thorsten)
       => drop it like a hot brick.

       + e.g. in tabs with Tools > Options > Language Settings > Default on top
       + remove “For the current document only”
       + would be happy if some developer looked at this (Michael)
          + ideally with CTL experience.
       + makes it more complex for those who don’t know CTL (Cloph)
       + lots of work showing these only when there are hints (Caolan)
          + start in a US locale – CJK document, turned off …
          + but if any settings on the system that suggest CJK
            should be enabled
          + two different bits: showing the options, vs. ‘this doc only’
          + check-boxes for orthogonal issues.
       => get a CJK enabled developer to come up with a concrete proposal

* Fuzz / Crash Testing (Caolan)
    + 3(-7) import failures, 2(-3) export failures
        + 1 import, 2 exports – mst layout assert
        + 1 import failure is Bjoern refactor related
        + know reasons behind these crashers. 
        + Lubos’ patch to put calc under extreme threading pressure
           + 37 crashes – but perhaps 1-2 underlying issues
           + done on a big machine – 48 cores ...   
    + coverity
        +6 (+4, -1)
    + forcepoint round 7.
        + complete & all crash / sec. fixes fixed.
        + ignoring busy-hang.
        + would like a public statement of thanks from us.
        => Forcepoint have provided an invaluable service to all LibreOffice
           users by providing the benefit of their fuzzing expertise & tooling.
    + oss-fuzz ?? (16 outstanding, 13 minor)
        + lots of font cache unreproducibles looks like its going
          to get autoclosed in 3 days or so 
        + found a new issue with font-feature bits. 

* Crash Reporting (Xisco)

          + hope to have many fewer crashes ...
 
* Alpha bitmap progress (Michael)
    + talked about it before – trying isolate separate alpha
