     + Manage Conditional Formatting dialog (Xisco)

         - https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162475

        - Pranam reworked the conditional formatting dialog a while ago
        - think the work is incomplete (Xisco)
        - will it be complete by 25.2? or how to move forward?
        - Pranam is aware of the missing pieces (Caolan)
          - if it doesn't work out till the 25.2 release, go back to how things were
          - best to revisit in a week
        - the bug above describes the problems, see the see-also parts (4 bugs)
          - so the ideal would be to have those 4 fixed rather sooner than later
     + some gsoc projects are also unfinished (Olivier)
       + hoping they get finished till the release

* Crash testing (Caolan)
     + 24(+0) import failure, 22(+0) export failures
       - https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Crashtesting

         we exported, but could not import

     + 1 ossfuzz issue

         - 1 timeout/hang

    Notebookbar part 1: custom widgets for the tabbed interface
    https://dev.blog.documentfoundation.org/2024/11/14/notebookbar-part-1-custom-widgets-for-the-tabbed-interface/
    + getting into the notebookbar development is tricky, trying to document things (Hossein)
    + configure/change notebookbar with glade, using .ui files (Heiko)
      + it's just a canvas with buttons dispatching uno commands, that's all
    + wondering if we could have icons in glade (Hossein)
      + sounds like an overkill (Heiko)
    + indeed quite confusing/tricky, compared to other .ui files (Olivier)
    + for the custom widgets, there is a glade catalog (Caolan)
      + can describe properties there
      + not sure if a placeholder/picture/preview is possible to provide there
      + suggest to explore what's possible with catalogs
