* l10n (Sophie)
  + some problems with sending mail from weblate (Cloph)
  + no updates otherwise

* New full name for Pootle bot (Ilmari)
  + The name Pootle is confusing for everyone except the most erudite LibreOffice historians
  + Proposals for a new name include Botty McBotface, empty string, ⊥, 🤖 and probably Little Botty Tables
  + Maybe we should go with something simple, though, like Review bot
  + The change will not affect any scripts, as the username stays as pootlebot
  + Only documentation would need to be changed, recent wiki article and blog post (I can do it)
  + proposal: rename it to "Review bot" (Ilmari)
AI: do this (Ilmari)

* What’s cooking (Miklos)
  + 16k cols in Calc (Lubos)
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133764
  + feature/chartdatatable: MSO-style data tables for charts (Tomaz)
    + see initial commits in master
  + Working on SmartArt (Armin)
    + the plumbing is mostly done now
    + now focusing on the UI + ODF export
      + ODF filter is meant to be experimental in 7.4
        + this way no need to commit to a markup right now
        + what markup do you plan? (Kendy)
          + ideal would be something specified & ODF (Thorsten)
          + similar, but not the same as OOXML
          + have prior art with SMIL
          + tree / graph / layout could be 1:1
      + OOXML roundtrip to remain
    + expect a blog post soon (really :) )
    + feature is about editing, then
    + do we have UI to edit the smartart right now? (Hossein)
      + there is some oldish dialog: enable experimental features + add it to your menu (Thorsten)
      + goal for 7.4 is to have a nicer GUI (text edit, moving things around)
    + should land in master in 3-4 weeks
  + Adding content controls to Writer (Miklos)
    + inline <w:sdt> in DOCX, rich text/checkbox/dropdown/picture types
  + parallel installation set packing (Thorsten)
    + seems like it's working, apart from breaking macOS (will try to sort it out)
    + Linux has a nice win, 10x speedup
    + noticable if you build with help + all languages
    + running multiple make_installer.pl processes in parallel
    + the "make installer" itself is still serialized
  + Add support for field types in PDF form export (Xisco)
    + fixed a few issues with PDF forms
    + e.g. numeric field
    + emitting some JS snippets: works with Adobe Reader & firefox
  + LanguageTool grammar checking using the remote server (Kendy)
    + Mert's work:
       + https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/134112
    + uses libcurl to handle networking
    + spellchecking / grammar checking
    + already works to some extent -> hope to get it in before the feature freeze
    + possible concern: talking to a remote server?
      + disabled by default, need to provide a REST API URL
    + gerrit change:
    + is it different to the languagetool extension? (Heiko)
      + asking because LT from extension site uses an outdated UNO component
        registration/legacy active Java component registration method,
        see tdf#112723
      + yes and no: developed by the same people (Kendy)
      + advantage: better results using AI & whatnot
        + also can use it without Java
    + privacy feedback? (Cloph)
      + online update + crashreport does this already
      + link is enough, no need to include the statement in the code
      + will consider this (Kendy)
