I want to draw our attention to the first bug which was on the agenda in
yesterday's design meeting:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158588
I would say that bug is misnamed. It should be called:
"LibreOffice unexpectedly and strangely modifies an ODT file without
they user having done anything, and embedding unnecessary fonts nobody
asked it to."
IMHO it's several non-trivial issues rolled into one:
* LO's "contract" with the user as an ODT editor
* Where does the UI regarding font embedding choices belong?
* Does LO "know" about the actual use of different languages in a document?
I've commented on the bug myself but would encourage more of us to have
another look at it.

PS - Sorry for missing the meeting :-(

* Redesign font embedding options in
sfx2/uiconfig/ui/documentfontspage.ui
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158588
+ improve help (Dieter, bug 130185)
+ dummy text with no embedded font = 28k, with all options on = 22000k
with "only used" 927k, with all but limited to latin = 1800k
+ disable CTL & CJK depending on options and
+ check by default and disable the "Only used fonts" unless
the first option "Embed fonts" is activated (Heiko)
+ if the document contains and CTL/CJK font it would be
pointless to exclude them when saving used fonts only;
and the other option makes not much sense alone (Rafael)
+ font scripts options needs a dev check
=> do it
* FORMCONTROLS Enhancement: Fill Cell with Text Box in Calc
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158273
+ check/enable anchor to cell (resize with cell) and fit to cell size
by default (Heiko)
+ changing this makes users needy and they may ask for better chart
positioning, for example; how about a dedicated command to
achieve the goal (Rafael)
+ could also be done per macro (Sahil)
+ goal was here to insert/manipulate many form controls; the workflow
with copy/paste is tedious as cursor down or enter does not
behave like at normal cells; which could be changed (Heiko)
=> comment
* Incorrectly export number 0 form calc to PDF
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158533
+ option to show/include zero is on by default and one has to disable
it intentionally
+ same behavior on Excel
+ dependency to some archived PDF format is unclear
=> ask the ESC
* New sidebar deck for comments
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106316
+ splitter to expand the comments margin (Jim)
+ comments in margin is sufficient for ordinary users (John)
+ vertical space in margin is not enough for academia; management
is missing, eg. to find unresolved comments (Rafael)
+ sidebar has limited vertical space
+ but allows the list being unsynchronized ie. many comments on one
single page overlapping each other
+ requirements: add filter by status, eg. resolved
no urgent need for the procrastination option "hide temporarily"
+ mockup design: take the Onlyoffice example
https://bug-attachments.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=191371;
sort is
missing; referenced text should be visible in the sidebar pane
+ enhancements: predefined responses? might be useful for some
(Rafael),
but should be done resp. the list filled by users (Sahil)
+ replace the comments in margin or amends it (John)
=> improve the mockup and ask the community in a blog post
