+ Offer to download & install missing fonts from online sources
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159950
+ good to avoid auto-installing fonts from remote sources (Heiko)
+ FILEOPEN When I say "lowriter foo.txt" and foo.txt does not exist,
it should open a new empty document that saves to that name instead of dying
+ DUP of https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40227
+ makes sense for e.g. vim, but probably not for us (Heiko)
+ Table cells merge: some cells disappear
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159629
+ no cell height, height is taken from row properties (Heiko)
+ would be nice to keep it simple
+ technically it's probably not a bug (Regina)
+ good to solve it by setting the default to a better value (row height)
+ input in the bug is welcome

22 CppunitTest_toolkit_a11y gerrit_linux_gcc_release
+ this week was OK in terms of bot failures (Cloph)
+ last week the ML job put ~all changes to the risky category
+ the queue was larger than usual, mostly the PDF import patches
+ hope this settled down now
+ seeing lots of a11y test failures? (Michael W)
+ think the CppunitTest_toolkit_a11y failures are related to a pending change of Noel (Xisco)
- https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/163680
- CI just did its job here, good (Miklos, Cloph)
* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ A11y update (Michael W)
* gtk4: new GtkAtspiSocket API in Gtk 4.14, could potentially be used to
do own AT-SPI implementation + bridge that to the Gtk widget hierarchy,
discussion at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/6197#note_2025466
* qt6: API for reporting a11y object attributes (QAccessibleAttributesInterface)
merged upstream + implemented in LO
* new keyboard shortcut for jumping to foot-/endnote, thanks Heiko! (tdf#159863)
* improvements to Writer Navigator a11y (tdf#159910)
* some crash fixes
+ still working on importing 3D scenes from MSO (Regina)
+ currently thinking about lighting
+ current ODF is not able to describe these lights from MSO
+ see discussion on the libreoffice@ list, also has input from Armin
+ pdf import improvements (David)
+ cmake find modules for SDK examples (Hossein)
+ Set of patches from Konstantin (WIP)
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/162978
+ Similar structure is needed for qmake
+ would this mean duplicated build systems for each example? (Miklos)
+ for each example, the maintenance would be low, hopefully (Hossein)
+ would be the goal to have old/cmake/qmake, 3 parallel build systems? (Miklos)
+ yes, for now (Hossein)
+ the cmake part for each example is small
+ smells like explosion of combinatorics (Stephan)
+ would be careful before going down that road
+ if the end goal is to settle down on cmake, love it (Thorsten)
+ but 3 in the long run is far from ideal.
+ cmake is not that exotic, we require it already for doxygen (Miklos)
+ which makes it supported on CI already (Thorsten)
+ if interested in doing the work + update the docs, then why not, as long as it's a single build system (Stephan)
+ but then do avoid qmake, and do switch over from gmake at the end
+ avoids the exploson
+ Excel 2021 functions (Balazs Varga)
+ XLOOKUP, XMATCH, FILTER etc
+ also ironically some functions came from google sheets originally,
then -> excel -> Calc
+ Help pages ready to be filled (ohallot).
+ we also try to submit suitable ODF TC enhancement requests (Thorsten)
+ parallel computation has some special-cases for LOOKUP (Caolan)
+ keep that in mind for XLOOKUP
* COOL Days 2024 (Miklos)
+ https://www.collaboraoffice.com/cool-days-2024/ 8th -> 10th April
+ contributors can submit 5 mins talk proposals at https://eventyay.com/e/0512424d/cfs
+ LibreOffice Technology hackfest as part of it
