+ big CONGRATULATIONS to contributors who have at least 1 merged patch, since last report:
Verne-Lai (ossii.com.tw)
Ismael Luceno (iodev.co.uk)
+ Normal week: ~40 merged commits from contributors, 2 new contributors
+ New blog dedicated to LibreOffice development is started:
https://dev.blog.documentfoundation.org/
+ Trying to attract new contributors there, with tutorials, how-tos, articles
+ “Getting started” video is posted for the start
+ Suggestions are welcome for the topics to be covered, videos, etc.
* Commit Access
+ None
* Calc auto-complete behavior changes (Kendy)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142214
+ Kendy suggested Dennis to do this
+ it turned out to be not appreciated by some users
+ we were not aware that it causes trouble
+ what happened: in Online, did some changes regarding the Calc auto-complete suggestions
+ in many cases, the suggestions are not the best ones
+ long sentence → wrong suggestion if only the end differs for two candidates
+ tried to make it behave closer to what Excel does
+ biggest problem is reverted by Ilmari
+ question is: if we should revert even the rest of the changes or we can try a last idea: different to what Calc used to do
+ last remaining problem: you have to type until you have a single candidate
+ try: bash-like autocompletion: when there are multiple candidates, but all of them have a common prefix, show this common string as the suggestion
+ would that be acceptable?
+ problem is in 7.2 and master, revert only in 7.2? (Xisco)
+ then this would be finished in 7.3
+ would work for us (Kendy)
+ see also https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133494 (Heiko)
+ more or less what Kendy proposed, from Samuel
+ not suggesting the dropdown (Kendy)
+ currently how it appears: pre-selected text
+ used to be: if multiple candidates, then one appeared, but selected
+ enter confirmed it
+ suggestion to try: don’t show the complete sentence, just the common prefix of all candidates
+ let’s not have one more option for this (Heiko)
+ would like code completion-like dropdown
+ alt-down already does this, have the functionality (Kendy)
+ complete re-work would be more like a GSoC project
+ would like to try just the tweaked highlight for the short term
+ not really happy with just seeing the common prefix (Cloph)
+ agree that one more option is not ideal (Kendy)
+ for now, in 7.2, just revert, and try out Kendy’s idea on master
* Developer Certification (Stephan/Kendy/Thorsten/László)
+ resting since: 14 weeks
* Jenkins / CI update (Cloph)
