* Pending Action Items:
    + build concrete, deliverable plan for live-screenshots (Olivier, Armin)
        [ need more time to evaluate that with Armin (Olivier)
          discussed with Bubli what we can do (Armin)
             + would have been nice to do from the beginning,
             + 80-85% do-able without flickering ]

* Release Engineering update (Christian)
    + 5.4.0 RC2
      + not been tagged yet – issues with translations
        + ran script, but obsolete strings re-appeared
        + build-queue in Jenkins was too long so 5.4 patches were not building
        + going to tag today.
      + three reviews later this week after RC2, on the release branch
      + feature pages: please update:
        + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.4
    + 5.3.5 RC1 next week
    + 5.2.7 – has been removed from the download page
        + not offered unless you explicitly select it.
           + still available from download-archive.
        + update check moved to 5.3.4 instead
    + Android & iOS Remote
    + online
        + need to build a release here too.

* Documentation (Olivier)
   * Throughout refactor of Help online build script (http://helponline.libreoffice.org) with
        + Use 'helpex' utility from build
        + Added piwik code
        + Build & uploaded all released languages (~90) for 6.0
             + a shell script so far
             + ideally, it should be "make helponline", but IAND
               helponline:\n<tab>shell-script … (Michael)
        + Inclusion of schema.org markup "TechArticle" for SEO
             + http://schema.org/TechArticle
             + Not trivial to qualify right schema
             + adding meta-tags for classification of page content.
             + would like input / advice on whether schema.org adds value to SEO
        + Still waiting for community promised layout for pages
             + will have to do myself if no response
             + helponline really close to be released then
    * Monitoring google/webmasters/console for helponline and documentation
        + will need to get access to documentation.lo.o shell
            + to get to template <meta>
        + SEO parametrization far from trivial,
            + Can't get SE to give immediate response
                + SE not in our control
                + task pending to execute takes days
    * Several fixes to help pages for release 5.4
    * Published easy hacks for help pages
        + no response
    * Donation patch
        + time spent refactoring for BCP47
        + erAck merged it for 6.0

  + discussions about line spacing default, zero sized bullets in Impress
    + can size bullets to ~zero – crazy
    + suggest we crop to 25% for interop. (Michael)
  + first branding-6.0 commits
    + ongoing task, submitted the first real image(s)
    + needs tuning, but this is how it looks
    + did we get TDF branded versions → cloph ? (Michael)
       + in-progress; esthetic design issues being worked on (Heiko)
  + get in touch with KDAB dev for metrics ?
    + https://github.com/KDE/KUserFeedback
    + want to collect data on what people are using
    + want to collect surveys from running programs too
    + not a question of development – but web development (Markus)
    + doesn’t seem like a good line-up (Michael)
       + OTOH – had a tender for this in the past IIRC

        + Noel looking into this.

* multi-sheet calc document (Jean-Sebastian)
    + selecting five sheets of ten say.
    + updating a protected cell, can’t find the protected cell
    + an idea – good to have a lock icon near sheet label (?)
       + in error msg – the name of the sheet.
    + recommend talking to erAck on IRC (Michael)
    + saw some enhancement proposal in bugzilla tdf#95880 (Bubli)
    + recall was a patch to list un-protected cell of current sheet (Eike)
       + think it is in master.

                + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108299

    + Older:

        + Regression from e744e9f4492d3013742fcdb6254cd76528870e9d
                + Bubli ?

          + Text is invisible, both in UI and in editor on update to 5.3.2,
            older AMD and Intel GPUs
                + Similar issue wrt. ClearType fixed thanks to Tomaz:
                + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106990
                + Tomaz now working on:
                + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107166
                    + nothing obvious; writing a standalone renderer to test...
                + bit of a problem ! - bisected to Khaled’s commit in
                  https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107942
                + breaks remote desktops too – some DirectWrite horror ?
                + DirectWrite rendering seems to be the issue.
                + unclear what to do – disabling DirectWrite is far from ideal
                + would love a fix before 5.4 (Xisco)
                + 3 bugs mentioned as fixed by current code (Miklos)
                    + so reverting – gives us 3 more.

          + CRASH: Crash after undo operation (BigPtrArray::Index2Block(...
                + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107975
        + http://crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/signature/BigPtrArray::Index2Block(unsigned%20long)
        + Total: 3470
                + Initially introduced by 2903d85d6197829633d7f96c95cd55821c2c20ff ( Luboš Luňák )
        + Fixed in 9099e21b89184bd4e39def497e483cac4a77ec5a ( Jan-Marek Glogowski )
        + reverted by e84f0a9b3223f49b0829f2f55dacbf11ae201c1e ( Michael Stahl )
                + Michael S - looked at it a couple of weeks ago.
                   + someone fixed problem deleting part of para – then the
                     at-character anchored objects are not deleted – but moved
                     to index 0
                   + the oldest commit - changed that so they are actually deleted
                   + other parts of the code expect them not to be deleted.
                   + 2 different undo classes crash in this case.
                   + unfortunately, not had enough time to look at it.
                   + alternative – just revert that commit.

    + Fixed:
