Minutes of the Design Hangout: 2016-Sep-30

Present: Kendy, Samuel, Heiko, Italo

Decision needed

* Ideas to send out an email with a few topics to discuss before the hangout is welcome
   + please add proposals with easy decisions into this pad (first example is good, second too complex)
   + avoid zombie tickets waiting for long time at bugzilla (kendy)
       + fresh and painful stuff preferred
* Single vs. Double click in start center (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102238 )
   + double click felt unnatural for recent files and was changed therefore (kendy)
   + multi-selection is not needed anymore
   + template _manager_ for advanced stuff (samuel)
   + recommend to go with single click (kendy, samuel) => decision made
   + context menu could be replaced by "inline interactions" that are shown on hover (like delete for recent files)
   
* Better font selection ( https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98817 )
   + ideas appreciated, better write a couple of short requests (kendy)
       + as with other bugreports, one bug per request preferred
   + list fonts by similarity opens a huge issue, as a table with font equivalents
     (open vs proprietary, visually similar vs metrically compatible) may easily exceed 600 lines (Italo)

Organization

* Feature freeze for 5.3: Nov-21
* Easyhacks do not require NEEDINFO anymore
* Annual report needs to get filled (http://pad.documentfoundation.org/p/annualreport)
   + Blog posts, User surveys, UX mentor... (samuel)
* Community weeks planned in October: Input from design team will be requested
