+ from: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/kendy-collabora-com-Minutes-of-ESC-call-2016-08-11-tp4190974p4190988.html
+ ux-advice: keep it, because many bugs are not easy to file against a certain component
+ tracking of needsux: sure, can do that; but many people may understand enhancements similar to ux, which needs to get covered (or better we restrict our trust in the numbers)
+ no semantic difference between "component:LibreOffice keyword:needsUXeval" and "component:ux-advise" (Bjoern)
+ introduced keyword, to allow component linked (Heiko)
+ component for newcomers (Heiko)
+ personally like to keep both (Heiko)
+ 350 and 150 in each bucket (Bjoern)
+ component:LibreOffice is the catch-all (Bjoern)
+ watch compoment for mailing list? (Heiko)
+ get a email for every bug change and filter (Thorsten)
+ ML create false impression there might be a discussion (Thorsten)
+ actual discussion should happen (Eike)
+ RSS Feed for query: https://www.bugzilla.org/features/#buglist-formats (Jan-Marek)
AI + move component:ux-advise to component:LibreOffice keyword:UX as ninja-edit (Robinson)
+ get checkbox for bugzilla (Heiko)
+ we have 500 ux bugs, we dont need to make it much easier right now (Bjoern)
+ other UX topics: (Heiko)
+ currently on vacation
+ blog post on online media integration
+ simplify the workflow to integrate media (like youtube, image from repo)
+ looking over replies
+ no good video playback in Impress
+ avideo is on top of everything, so it's hard (alg)
+ Whats the actual issue? fundamental problem? (Thorsten)
+ post was about integration, but replies were about playback brokage (Heiko)
+ this is supposed to work (Thorsten)
+ maybe look into it from a QA angle? (Bjoern)
+ Overview of playback testing by platform (Robinson)

+ create your own by updating Keywords to eg. "easyHack, difficultyBeginner, skillCpp, topicCleanup"
+ please remember, a codepointer is mandatory, and typically a look from an experienced developer
+ create new easy hacks from these ones or remove "needsDevEval" if not feasible):
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=needsDevEval
+ Made the statistic for needsDevEval and needsUXEval more readable (being the first
+ We currently have 163 bugs needing UX evalution, this has changed very rapidly, the UX team should take a look, give advice, and remove needsUXeval, so that
the bugs can/will be worked on (most people do skip bugs when needs<foo> is set and solve other bugs).
