* Question from unnamed person:
Could we add some stats of AskLO ?
so far, there's a very limited table in : https://ask.libreoffice.org/about
would be interesting to have some sort of push email to remind posters to mark their posts as "resolved" when it's the case.
And more generally to get an idea of trend : few stats of page views for help / wiki / downloads ... ?
* Ilmari: there are stats in https://dashboard.documentfoundation.org/app/kibana#/dashboard/Discourse
+ at least the dashboard seems to track contributions on the Ask site (Miklos)
* UX Update (Heiko)
+ Bugzilla (topicUI) statistics
234(234) (topicUI) bugs open, 25(25) (needsUXEval) needs to be evaluated by the UXteam

24 aborted by jenkins job timeout gerrit_windows
+ this week was OK (Cloph)
+ 1 Windows builder hit a timeout problem
+ still an open issue to auto-detect this
+ also a HW failure -> longer build times
+ new server: about to put that into the pool
+ expecting 4 builds on Windows in 1h
+ would make the Linux build the bottleneck
+ more tests there
+ easy to scale
* Report builder as extension? (Ilmari)
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Under-loved_areas#Replace_Java_report_generator_code
+ have a volunteer interested in this
+ some Linux distros don't include it at all
+ propose: c++ extension to research the problem
+ couple of report libraries available
+ any benefit?
+ currently an optional module
+ it used to be an extension (Michael S)
+ https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/oracle-report-builder
+ having report designer built-in sounds useful, for example based on Writer (Hossein)
+ good to get input from Lionel (Miklos)
+ also perhaps from Noel (Caolan)
+ Noel already commented in the wiki (Ilmari)
+ what distros dropped it?
+ ArchLinux (Ilmari)
+ big long chain of Java dependencies (Caolan)
+ will continue researching (Ilmari)
* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ A11y update (Michael W)
+ tdf#155447 Accessible IDs for spellcheck dialog: MR for Orca,
discussion of potential approaches for reuse in other apps
+ tdf#35107 Hyperlink a11y
+ added a11y names for page background elements in Writer sidebar
+ Accerciser: implemented display of hyperlink infos
+ RTL/CTL/CJK update (Jonathan)
+ tdf#162314: Hang while laying out bidi portions with underflow
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162314
+ tdf#162358: Fallback for grapheme clusters split by start of run
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162358
+ tdf#36709: First line indent using Ch should change for font size
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36709
+ More generally: relative length unit support
+ Discussions ongoing
+ Current understanding:
+ Schema changes are needed, extension attribute for interim
+ keeping track of responsiveness of LO for different languages (Hossein)
+ currently testing this manually
+ would need perf regression testing suite (Jonathan)
+ https://perf.libreoffice.org/ is there (Miklos)
+ ${LODE_HOME}/bin/tb_slave_wrapper --branch=MASTER --os=Linux --real --perfsuite --distro-config=PerfSuite_Linux.conf --name="Jenkins_Callgrind"
+ it uses callgrind, so should be consistent across hardware (Caolan)
+ trouble is nobody looks at the result, it requires time (Michael S)
+ 1 build is 16 hours (Cloph)
+ also have newer data at a different URL
AI: switch the default to the new data (Cloph)
+ drawinglayer system-dependent primitive renderer (SDPR) for cairo (Armin)
+ tdf#61242 - Customization of comments background color (Heiko)
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/171523
+ this was all hardcoded previously, now possible to customize it
* QA update (Xisco)
+ Missing Xisco
+ unconfirmed is "1202 (+1202)", is that correct? (Eyal)
+ perhaps fallout from the ruff changes (Ilmari)
