Stephan, Xisco, Michael S, Gabriel, Hossein

* Completed Action Items:
  + got marketing to announce what is the next major version on their mailing 
list (Heiko)
+ some discussion on switching to year.month scheme
+ extension compat checks might be affected (sberg)
+ generator version in odf files (mst)
+ perhaps disentangle internal, strictly monotonically increasing numbers, 
from outside marketing release name? (caolan)
+ just a single increment, for the internal number? then go for date-based 
release (mst)

(Thorsten)

+ Google Season of Docs (Olivier)
  + submitted a project
  + sadly not accepted, no feedback (only 13 orgs accepted - perhaps a 
funding 
crimpage?)
  + unclear why - hard to action/improve
  + something that TDF could jump in? (Thorsten)
  + DevGuide and other projects - would be very helpful (Hossein)

  + lots of work in need of doing, e.g. translation

2023-04-06 Thread Heiko Tietze

Present: Gabby, Rizal, Abdallah, Heiko
Comments:

Tickets/Topics

 * No option to select "Delete Comment" via a letter press in the
   context menu
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154389
   + quick way to solve is to assign any mnemonic and require
 user to press it twice
   + better solution would be to improve the auto assignment algorithm
 to find some key
 + better solution (Gabby)
   + using the main menu would be _Sheet > Cell _Comments > _Delete Comment
 + the issue happens only for the context menu
   => fix it programmatically

 * Add option to use approximate/fuzzy string matching to whole
   of dictionary + word completion for more aggressive autocorrection
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125433
   + add option "auto correct typos up to n letter"
 + probably not the right approach since typos mix letters like
   Borwser => Browser
   + we do not have probability for the suggestions and cannot decide
 if autocorrect would be appropriate
   => desirable function, up to developers to figure out how to do

 * Improve Calc's Format > Align Text menu's contents and labels
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154410
   + toolbar buttons work as expected and reverting a toggle state
 brings back the default alignment
   + the menu seems to be a toggle function too but cannot untoggle
   + "Default" would be some kind opf radio button functionality
 and not the toggle on/off anymore; it opens Pandora's box for all
 the menus with on/off attributes
   => fix the menu problem but don't add a Default item

 * FORMATTING: "Keep aspect ratio" checkbox of images or photos
   not always honoured
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80281
   + proportional scaling for images is enabled when using the
 mouse and we should do the same when working with the dialog
   + check "Keep ratio" in the Position & Size dialog by default
 for images (Gabby)
   => do it

 * Change label for .uno:InsertIndexesEntry and label and tooltip
   for .uno:IndexEntryDialog
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153847
   + proposal is Insert Index Entry, and it was solved meanwhile
   => thanks for the work
