     + see <https://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/2022/msg00744.html> for details: "the board resolves to postpone formally atticizing
       Online for three more months. Unless the de-atticization requirements
       (3 different developers contributing non-trivially) are fulfilled by then, and/or
       if necessary binding corporate commitments are not made by 2022-10-01, Online
       will be automatically moved to the attic."
     + apparently some activity at <https://github.com/freeonlineoffice/online>
     + would be useful to have a technical statement here (Thorsten)
     + limit was the start of the October (Kendy)
       + review of non-trivial commits in the repo would be good
     + who could do this check to see if there are 3 devs with non-trivial commits? (Miklos)
       + best if they are a non-Collaboran (Kendy)
       + Xisco/Hossein/Cloph? (Thorsten)
AI: do this (Xisco)
       + many commits are taken from COOL, good to focus on the commits which are in this repo specifically (Kendy)
