NEXT MEETING: August 22nd, 19:00 CET (Berlin Time)

I now have time to catch up on the pending items I had previously
elected to do.

The above item is not valid, because the toolbar improvement does not
include the claimed "small capitals" button by default. The button can
be added via the toolbar customization option, but it would be
misleading to make reference to it as a default formatting toolbar
button in the GS guide.

There is nothing in Chapter 4 that requires a detailed screenshot of the
formatting toolbar. Therefore I propose this item be skipped.
