+ Add AI capabilities to LibreOffice Writer based on dumb but available
integrations with Ollama
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170092
+ for extensions, see https://extensions.libreoffice.org/?Tags%5B%5D=177
+ if done, prefer to use own / local models (Heiko)
+ especially if it's known how those models are generated
+ controversial topic (Hossein)
+ difference between forced use vs "configure to use"
+ looked at the OnlyOffice AI feature (Heiko)
+ needed an OpenAI API key, not seeing how it would work, hard to use
+ a chatbot is weird in this context
+ added some use-cases to the above bug
+ have some extensions for this, now we have a category for this
+ input is welcome, comment on the bug / mailing list
+ patch for this: <https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/194671>
(Hossein)
+ think many providers implement the same API
+ need a license statement for the author (Ilmari)
+ Paragraph styling: capabilities for lead-in
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170006
+ Drop Caps: option to skip over leading punctuation
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170044
+ more freedom around drop caps would be nice
+ need to consider what's required by ODF

* Outreachy (Ilmari)
+ Siddhi Salunkhe works on the project "Transform the existing Hyperlink dialog
into a standard SfxTabDialog" mentored by Heiko Tietze
+ https://www.outreachy.org/alums/2025-12/
+ timeline is in https://www.outreachy.org/docs/internship/#payments
+ patch (WIP) https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/195201
+ now ready for review (Heiko)
* GSoC (Ilmari)
+ Ideas page is emptiest I've ever seen:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas
+ Needs not only 350-hour, but also smaller project ideas (175 h and/or 90 h)
+ Could finishing unfinished earlier GSoC projects be 90-hour ones?
+ For example finishing these unmerged patches:
https://gist.github.com/aditya-sahu/b36dfe02c4f58b869bde18d47030a04a#phase3
(gallery project)
+ it's tricky to finish somebody else's work (Hossein)
+ need to have a good understanding of what's done / not done
+ projects with well-known boundaries are easier
+ some unfinished projects in the past -> good to ask the student what's
remaining in the future
+ so the status is clear
+ where to store it? (Heiko)
+ e.g. data provider, was a gsoc project, not finished
+ was unclear what still needs doing when it was experimental
+ or the libreoffice theme project
+ status is in some markdown file in Sahil's repo
+ the wiki would be a better place
+ agree with storing it in the wiki (Hossein)
+ will do that for a few projects
+ good to have a wiki page listing unfinished projects (Xisco)
+ Or better described, incomplete, or not reaching initial goals
