Present: Cor, Eyal, Heiko
Comments: Stephane, RGB, Eyal, Jan, Robert

Tickets/Topics

  * As we now have a Comment style, remove/redirect "Format all comments..."
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157522
    + direct formatting might still be needed, eg. to increase the font size
      for all comments (Stephane)
      + rename to "Direct format all comments" and perhaps hide it from
        the menu but keep it; add Edit Style to the menu (Heiko)
    + turn "Format all comments" into "Edit default paragraph style for
      comments" (RGB)
    + rather open the Paragraph Style dialog for the current Comment PS (Eyal)
    + remove the command, and offer "Select All" (Cor, Eyal)
    => comment

  * Improve password security UX
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157518
    + implement strength meter based on existing code, do not use rules,
      consider further improvements (Jan)
      + https://keepass.info/help/kb/pw_quality_est.html
    + have an "unmask password" icon (Jan)
    + have a policy to provide companies a way to not allow simple

    + show strength meter with tooltips what do to (Eyal, Heiko)
    + perhaps split the bug (Eyal)

    + remember search during the session (Heiko)
    + store it in the database (Robert)
    => fix depending on effort

  * Writer: repeat first column of a table on subsequent pages
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157301
    + table don't flow left/right to the next page (Cor)
    + OP is not a CTL user but wants to split a wide table
      across multiple pages
    + theoretically it might be possible "If a table does not fit
      on a single page, a set of adjacent table columns can be
      automatically repeated on every page..."
    + Calc provide means to achieve this via Print Range > Row/Columns
      to repeat (Cor)
    + don't worth the effort, unless the OP can explain why implementing
      this in Writer in necessary (Eyal)
    => WF
