* Commit Access
+ Cosmetic change issues – churning code without much benefit
+ asked to avoid this, but this continues.
+ write a last warning ? (Michael)
+ always a balance between cosmetic and functional changes (Miklos)

+ ok with last warning (Stephan)
=> do that (Michael)

* Gerrit down-time (Cloph)
+ midnight tonight planned to be down for 30mins or so, to re-boot.
+ Norbert triggered a garbage-collection too.
* l10n (Sophie)
+ lots of good work is ongoing, big string backlog, particularly in help.
* List of uno command (Heiko)
+ a request by the design team – what commands we have, and how they are organized
+ Xisco found a link to the wiki:
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/DispatchCommands
+ lacks info on tooltips / shortcuts etc.
+ want to see what keys are associated with what (Heiko)
+ would like to see what’s there & sort by what is used.
+ Q’ of how notebook bars are generated.
+ Generated by a script (Bubli)
+ used to be PHP, now python – parses xcs, sdi etc.
+ Samuel mentored work here, and knows the score:
+ he is back from parental leave in 2 weeks.
+ bin/list-dispatch-commands.py
+ can include keybindings from uiconfig/accelerators files.
+ Warning: can’t fix typos in commands (Bjoern)
+ part of the published ABI and API – so, beware of ‘fixes’
that would ‘just rename’ something etc. scripts and config
use these names a lot.
+ Editing it manually is not a great plan (Michael)
+ duplicating data in a different place etc.
+ already have api.libreoffice.org and docs.libreoffice.org (Bjoern)
+ put this together to generate things that go there.
+ host it outside the wiki ?
+ Just needs a bit more scripting (Michael)
+ add tool-tips from the source, and accelerators too (Heiko)
+ command scheme files have descriptions for the commands (Eike)
+ happy to work with Heiko (Olivier)
* Screenshots (Olivier)
+ talked on IRC with Bubli
+ would be nice to have screenshots generated at installation
time on users’ desktops.
+ would spare lots of space wrt. Downloads, and spare translation, etc.
+ desktop integration / theming correct too.
+ thought about it (Bubli)
+ screenshots generated with cppunit
+ tries to open all the dialogs & saves these as a side-effect
+ run-time dependency on cppunittest is not ideal.
+ concern wrt. User seeing flashing windows on the screen.
+ could download them on demand from TDF infrastructure, matching
users language & OS as an alternative (Bubli)
+ sounds no different to downloading ahead of time (Olivier)
+ not so work-able (Cloph)
+ needs a pack of the images for those not wanting network traffic.
+ why are we still flashing windows ? (Michael)
+ like the idea – but doesn’t blend so well with existing impl. (Thorsten)
+ going fwd. as people use on-line help. Is it urgent ?
+ have a look at this idly (Olivier)
AI: + quantify the potential size saving (Olivier)
* Proposals for 4.5 deprecated section (Eike)
