[Jan Holesovsky]

* Present: Heiko, Mattias, Cor, David, Jay, Stuart
 
* Completed Action Items:

    + Jay: Double check if we can change 'Spelling' to 'Spelling and Grammar'
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87648
        + grammar checkbox not accessible in calc and impress/draw
        + would be good to unify there name to something like 'Spelling Check', 'Spell Checker', etc
            + Spell Checking (Heiko)
            + removing "and grammar" seems nice, most people wouldn't care (Mattias)
            + languages other than English don't have grammar check (Jay)
            + Calligra uses 'Spell Checking' and MSO uses 'Spelling and Grammar'
            + Leave it as is and wait for grammar to be implemented in other modules (Stuart, +Heiko)
            + related implementation issues for handling the grammar checker -- seeking input from László

* Pending Action Items:

      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85897
        + Is that issue for the Navigator too (I dont read it from the issue)
          and in Writer the choice anycase was to allow opening separate too. (Cor, after discussion on 20150128)
            + the bug report only discusses the separate formulas sidebar in calc (Jay)
    + Kendy: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87794
