Review of 2.3.1 issues
Please review the list (many issues are build configuration and l10n relevant.
ES project lead mail
... will be ignored because there are no issues referenced. The meeting questioned the QA done on the builds. They were approved by QA and only after the release, upload and mirrors downloading it, ES project lead announced they think about going back. The meeting voted -1 for this, we do not support this move. The only mentioned issue (#i81789#: Activating a math formula in large document (many objects) takes very long time) is already analyzed and will be fixed for 2.3.1.
