* Ask from the board (Thorsten)
+ The Android viewer in version 7.6 has been published on F-Droid
since a while, with good quality.
+ The board is asking the ESC, if:
* with the release of LibreOffice 7.6.3 end of November
* publishing the Android Viewer again on the Google PlayStore
* would be met with approval?
+ ~200 fixes since it was un-published because of poor state back
then (Michael W.)
+ makes sense to publish it again
+ no plan to implement big new features
+ but look into whatever issues will get reported
+ concerns? wait a bit longer? (Thorsten)
+ what's currently available in playstore? (Michael S.)
+ currently unlisted and not accessible (Cloph)
+ would take some time to get it published again (Cloph)
+ will probably not land directly on 7.6.3 release day
+ but then keep on publishing new versions
+ no objections
