Completed Action Items:
    
    + Proposal for the future LibreOffice documentation development
workflow (Dave)
    Dave: My proposal for the workflow would be:
        - Run conversion script on the last edition of each chapter to
be worked on.
        - Apply the new template to the converted chapter.
        - Updated the chapter's technical content.
        - Final stage chapter cleanup & review.
    Dave:

  * Complete the old -> new styles conversion list for Drew's script (Dave)

  * Complete the 2nd. draft of the 6.x template (Dave)

  * The first item is somewhat interdependent on the second one, but
    both are reasonably close to completion

  * Create the conversion script (Drew)


     + Enter images in document (Cathy)
AI: Clarify the image anchoring (olivier)
     +File with comments on assembling a master document for Guides

     +Quote on images:
       "Bug
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86322prevent images
with character anchors to display in 
       Master Document. As results, the frame with caption only displays
the caption with no image. Nevertheless the frame 
       keeps the size of the original image, even if invisible.
         
       To circumvent: For each image inside the chapter, anchor the
image to PARAGRAPH inside the frame.
       Select the image in the frame, click mouse button 2, select
Anchor, choose To Paragraph.
       An extra paragraph may (or not) pop at the top of the caption
inside the frame. Just delete it."
