minutes of ESC call ...

* Present:
    + Kendy, Miklos, Xisco, Sophie, Caolan, Michael S, Michael M,
      Olivier, Heiko, Christian, Jan-Marek

* Completed Action Items:
    + reach out to Zotero (Michael)
      [ not obvious how to move ahead; technology & license (AGPL)
        installed it (Heiko)
           + Java - 100Mb install, connectors to different apps
           + LibreOffice connector – as an extension ]
    + blog poll with ~50/50 acceptance to drop bibliography (Heiko)
      [ some accept getting rid of it, others say minimum func.
        makes sense for basic users without online connection.
        Could do a GSOC project (Samuel volunteered) ]

* Pending Action Items:
    + work with Mert to build an android l10n plan (Christian)
      [ didn’t connect with him yet ] 
    + mail BoD wrt. MS store update (Christian)
    + add screenshot builder to basic build stats (Christian)
      [ it fails with Japanese locale – but it’s not in the translation
        can build with all of these – and build runs fine, but with just
        ja it fails – needs further research  ]

* Release Engineering update (Christian)
    + 6.1.4 RC2 status
    + 6.2 RC 1 status
      + ready for the bug hunting Friday tomorrow.
    + 6.2 RC 2 – due week 2 – Jan 17th  
      + still require 1 review for libreoffice-6-2
      + libreoffice-6-2-0 after RC2.
      + Late Features
         + red-lining paragraph attribute re-work (Thorsten)
            + merged into master & 6.2 branch in time for RC1
            + except for document indexes – still being worked on
              which should be finished by tomorrow.
            + is it enabled by default ? (Xisco) 
                 + yes enabled by default (Michael S)
    + Remotes
    + Android viewer
      + will provide a new version to the app store but no up-loaded yet.
 + Online
    + 6.2 rc1 source up-loaded.

* Documentation (Olivier)
    + New Help
        + Added <pycode> for proper rendering of python code (ohallot)
        + Work on online editor: render XHP page while editing (ohallot)
    + Help contents2
        + many fixes by translators (S. Horacek, Sabri Unai, ohallot)
        + miscellaneous fixes (erAck, ohallot)
        + additions and corrections for Basic and Python pages (libreofficiant)
        + Issue: How to add menus and toolbars for new UIs such as:
            Notebook bar, simple bar, grouped bars, etc.
           + Huge work to describe UNO commands in new UIs. 
           + each page describes where a tool is eg. “menu → format → character”
           + considering all the cmds in an interface – quite a lot of work.
           + also confusing to list several (Michael)
              + the resulting is the same but the way to get it different.
              + should be able to do it programatically from
                .uno:Format to a path in the UI.
           + menu never changes (Heiko)
              + help on notebookbars – perhaps just drop that.
              + concerned about the workflow around notebookbar,
                too many options in the UI – and not close to usability.
              + we have five variants of similar UIs – which goes in &
                is documented ?
                + development of new ones is easy.
              + propose to ship 1, not an arbitrary number of them.
         + making it an extension kills it (Michael)
            + few people install them
            + why should that be ? (Heiko)
               + practically it is – fixing that is hard (Michael)
         + if we get XML somewhere – can get it on pages (Olivier)
            + right transformation to find the files & simplify docs here.
         + in the end it is all .uno:Foo commands (Kendy)
            + menu/toolbar/sidebar
AI:         + send some quick code pointers to Olivier (Kendy)
    + Guides.
        + Updates ongoing on Calc guides

        * default padding around Images
          + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122063
          + good idea to have more than 0 around images.

          + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121984

            + concerned if we move in a positive direction
              compat wise (Miklos)
        + if it breaks interop. it should go off by default (Michael M, Miklos)
            + even if it looks pretty (sorry).

          in alphabetical indexes
          + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122124

    + 17 Google / ossfuzz: 16 timeouts.

        + developers, QA, etc. listed – and student picked a few & solve.
        + not a great success.
