* git submodules status / update (Norbert)
	+ plan to integrate remaining modules into git
	  using submodules
	+ switching to it is a bit of a pain
	+ renaming everything one directory up is annoying
	+ applying patches across is annoying
	+ can still checkout just the repos you want
	+ tinbuild work is ongoing
	+ best window to include it - before LibO 3.6

	** Interesting for Release Engineers **

	+ will move the git structure around inside
	  binfilter, dictionaries, helpcontent
	+ will try to get it in before 3.6 branch
	+ http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Submodules

	  the board - and git bisecting works.
