+ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hSYOFoG6jnj2G0zWDbUYkrGZoj7YCSI9j3onkTZ65bU/edit
+ context menus
+ questions about limitations of the amount of items - seems like a misunderstanding
+ sidebar
+ concerns about the fixed size (non-resizability)
+ position of tabs (at the top) - does not work when closed
+ dialogs (Heiko)
+ no good guideline for sidebar vs. tabs in the dialogs (what is better when)
+ navigation in the sidebar - is that too much efort though?
+ do the users in fact want changes there?
+ like, the text properties now have 9 tabs!
+ seems people like redesigns in general
+ should icons be used?
+ resizability
+ if well designed, no need to resize vs. resize gives freedom to the user
+ not much interested in redesign it seems though
+ let's not change without user's complains
* Sidebar constrained by content and resizable (Heiko/Jay/Stuart)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92317
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90374
+ concerned that we contstrain the sidebar in the HIG too much (Stuart)
+ when it is too much in the development
+ and before its purpose is settled down
+ like: codifying if it should have fixed size or resizable is a bit premature (Stuart)
+ example: navigator or gallery are more dialogs (Stuart)
+ navigator is actually a floating windows (Jay)
+ sidebar - actually a hybrid between a toolbar and dialog (Stuart)
+ some consistency issue, but overall sidebar fairly consistent UI as is
and how it continues to develop (Stuart)
+ becomes flexible & rich (Stuart)
+ there were additional ideas (like the accordion) (Heiko)
+ eg. page size is not necessary in the Sidebar (Heiko)
+ a cut needs to be found (Heiko)
+ sidebar should provide access to the most used features (Heiko)
+ discussion will continue at a future meeting (Jay)
* Next Friday's design session (Jay)
+ Friday session this week
+ not happening this week as heiko's busy

+ List of possible future topics

+ Steve wants the sidebar "configuration menu" icon gone: "it's useless confusing, thus user unfriendly,
creates frustration and clutters the UI."
