           + Is information whether problem also is visible in Master
             useful for developers or not? Example see fdo #39928#c3

           + http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA-FAQ

               for cross-postings

           + Daily Builds testing: progress on fdo #38908? - May be a
             script for parallel install would be useful? But at least
             for WIN it's really easy also without. 

        + Extensions Website and related activities
          * no volunteers to fill the repo
          * manuals missing
          * minor problems still there

AA        * yes (thorsten)

        + Caolan changed the help about two weeks ago as mentioned in the
          call around then to read (to me) sanely for --
          with[out]-vendor. No loud shouting so far.
