    + Area Tab - https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94551
      https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gf7wqYszXnbrbzbyNlLKbJelMb20ssuimxfszcHP_wM/edit?usp=sharing
        + not published yet

* NotebookBar (Samuel)

    + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/NotebookBar
        + screenshot - https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/f/f5/Notebookbar-writer.png
        + NotebookBar allows to create toolbars with glade (Samuel/Kendy)
        + full control over widgets in the topmost area, defined via a .ui file
        + an optional thing for users (Samuel)
            + menus + toolbars the default
    + now in master, but hidden via an env. variable (Kendy)

    + keep in mind the HIG (Heiko)
        + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/ToolBar
        + mentions some future enhancements of toolbars that might be helpful here (Heiko)
            + eg. grouping
                + possible with Notebookbar
                + eg. http://docs.sencha.com/extjs/4.0.7/#!/example/toolbar/toolbars.html ?

   + tabs make toolbars context depending which is against the use case of toolbars (Heiko)
        + structuring the toolbar with labeled groups and perhaps different sized buttons make sense
        + the tabs from the current notebookbar should stay a menubar (Heiko)

* Help updating (Kendy)

    + new patches, would be great to have a new release (Jay)
        + will do, this time really :-) (Kendy)

    + online modification prototype (Jay)
        + Liongold on IRC working on that
        + will share that with Jay, and can iterate
        + need a VM from the infra to host the prototype
            + will create another ticket for this (Jay)
              https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/issues/1584
        + would be great to put the code to a repository (Kendy)
            + dev-tools (some subdir there) (Kendy)
            + or a new repo - eg. on github as a start? (Kendy)
                + dev-tools preferred though

    + images in helpauthoring (Jay)
        + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/HelpContent#Make_Images_Appear

* Icon Updates / Issues (Jay)

    + 32pixel sifr icons
        + first 2 from Pappamatti
        + reminded him to push svg too (Jay)
            + to use the Tomaž's code

    + Tango icons from Jay for new commands in table toolbar

    + Extra-Large (32x32) Icons for large resolutions
        + Status - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mPqD2gGsMkfVCI6ByUd2XYX1NJm26hcGjRVe6gcCSEU/edit?usp=sharing
        + Integrating it into the options dialog - https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95014
            + add a "extra large" entry

    + still something wrong with inheritance (Jay)
        + Samuel will look at one of them
        + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93866
            + easiest solution: eg. for tango, during build concat tango + galaxy links.txt, and
              put to images_tango.zip
            + one shared links.txt is probably not possible (Jay/Samuel)
        + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91565
          tango - https://bug-attachments.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=115945
