* Regression analysis (Bjoern)
+ good news, fixing more regressions than we're introducing
+ the stats are going up, but thought to be better QA / triage.
+ because marking more:
+ ~50% of bugs closed in a major release, marked as regressions
+ conclusion:
+ doing a reasonable job of keeping regressions under control since 3.6
+ continued focus on unit-testing important.
+ could / focus on areas where we detected most regressions.
+ hope is that fixes come with unit tests so we do focus there (Michael)
+ would be good to scrape bugzilla for 'regression' that were fixed
+ identify code in commit & find most regression-prone code.
AI: + create easy-hack to indentify the above (Bjoern)
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66750 done
+ way too few unit-tests for impress (Kendy)
+ contrast with the weekly stats which seem to climb endlessly (Michael M)
+ around 100 of our 'regressions' - needinfo or unconfirmed (Bjoern)
+ could we review / de-tagging these ?
AI: + QA team can prioritise that (Robinson)
+ Link that has regressions introduced in recent minor releases (Michael S)

+ be good to look into these specifically
* Bundled extensions (Stephan)
+ one left - presentation minimizer
+ de-extensionalizing by David O planned
+ one instdir/ issue - bundled extensions don't show up
+ lots of --enable-ext-whatever foo in configure, that bundle extn's
we hardly ever build, if we get rid of them, we avoid needing to fix
instdir to not include them.
+ distro-configs for TDF builds, include wikipublisher, nlpsolver
+ do we want to have those ?
+ we need the nlpsolver (Kohei)
+ is it built locally - or is it a tarball (Stephan)
+ external pkg, but built locally (Kohei)
+ thought there was an UNO wrapper for it.
+ could we add it to the list of things to de-extensionalise ? (Stephan)
+ we need it.
+ could we just advertise that instdir doesn't work for some esoteric
bundled extensions ? (Michael)
+ will want installsets from instdir/ eventually anyway (Stephan)
+ need to take care of them first
+ disable wikipublisher for now ? (Stephan)
+ problems around packaging it if it's outside (Bjoern)
* QA update (Robinson)
