    2. Minutes from last work-call
    The attending TC members unanimously accepted the minutes from the last
    work-call.
    
    3. Action Items
    pp/ff, Michael, done
    errata, Michael, ongoing
    
    4. Announcements
    odf 1.1 ballot is ongoing, check ballot link, make sure primary rep. has
    voted
    
    5. Discussion
    
    * Numbered paragraphs
    Michael: open from last call, example of mapping between lists and
    numbered paragraph. Oliver posted algorithm
    Florian: I feel I have not yet fully understood that. I would however
    want to discuss that on the list. I think I understood how koffice
    handle it. I think that OOo and word behave differently. Don't know
    whether it is possible to integrate this.
    ...
    David: part of the problem is whether all list styles for all levels are
    overridden or only a single level...
    Oliver: we should first achieve a common understanding about how we view
    the current list specification from a conceptual standpoint.
    -> mailing list
    
    * Additional spreadsheet filter proposal
    Jody: looks like a good idea
    ... office xml defines a few more, do we want to add those pro actively?
    Michael: we normaly would only add things which will also be implemented
    rob: how many more are there?
    Jody: there are some date-related (last six month...) and some like
    "less-than-average"
    odf differentiates between equality and matching and tc45 only does matching
    
    * Connector shapes
    Michael: add path data of connector to store connectors that does not end
    in another shape. Currently start and end shapes are stored. There are
    cases where we need to store more information with the connector.
    Path data is stored like with regular paths
    DavidF: I forwarded the proposal to kview implementors who were fine with it
    
    * Autoshrink property
    setting that tells the application to resize text according to
    surrounding shapes...
    no objections
    
    * Natural sort order
    Michael: it was pointed out on the list, that the current proposal is
    insufficient. The proposal must be revised
    
    * Interactive shapes in presentation
    new action: jump to last visited page (back button)
    Impress team did research...
    they decided to divide the proposal in three parts
    1- how to embed structure into documents (see Florian's older proposal)
    2- how styles are assigned to those table. it proposes to base this on
    table temples from ODF. table templates define styles for first row,
    with odd numbers and so on. Like a description how styles should be
    applied to tables. The proposal says to re-use this for tables in
    presentation and add an attribute to add a link between the table and
    the template, so that the styles can be re-evaluated when the structure
    changes. This applies to tables in all types of documents
    3- cell styles miss gradients as background, this is covered by this
    proposals, so that cells and rows can get the same attributes as shapes.
    
    Michael: for the next coordination call, we should vote on the proposals
    were there are no further questions. SO if questions remain, raise them
    on the list. Or if you need more time to evaluate the proposals, so we
    can plan the agenda for the next call.
    
    Florian: I sent proposal regarding text grids which I would like to
    discuss in one of our next calls
    
    * Call ends.

    The application name is "kivio", for reference.
