* Outreachy (Ilmari)

* GSoC (Ilmari)
+ Ideas page is emptiest I've ever seen:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas
+ Needs not only 350-hour, but also smaller project ideas (175 h and/or 90 h)
+ ideal to have a diverse set of ideas: both smaller and larger
+ we're especially short on small ideas
+ can we convert a bugreport to an idea? (Hossein)
+ yes, if there is a mentor (Ilmari)
+ e.g. collection of related bugs as a project (Hossein)
+ or a specific bug
+ OK, but needs a proper description (Ilmari)
+ Collabora desktop has this fancy table UI (Heiko)
+ good idea to take this to the libreoffice desktop?
+ good to add ideas without mentor to this "ideas without a mentor" page
(Ilmari)
+ Maybe some unglamorous work as a 90 h project? No need to always have
something flashy

* API change suggestion for data validation (Heiko)
+
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2025-December/094111.html
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/195563
+ expected: data validation prevents entering incorrect data
+ "fixed" this, turns out some people expected the old behavior
+ looked at what Excel does here: just accept, warning, etc.
+ what's done here: new option to the validation list
+ if enabled, just reject the invalid input if requested
+ but it's an API change
+ extends a published enum
+ kind of confident with the code, but Stephan & Cloph is less happy
+ submit to master & 26-2?
+ or go back to the same behavior as Excel & do the new behavior only
on master?
+ just trying to avoid an API change here if possible (Stephan)
+ don't think delaying would improve things
+ it just adds another option, not an incompatible change from the UI
point of view (Heiko)
+ wait till Cloph is back, then talk to each other (Miklos)
