PDF-AAM Editor's Draft. Work plan.

Daniel explains process

Zach: FPWD first quarter 2025
… Initial iteration with the conversion process, we have a working meeting tomorrow figuring out what we need from the sheet

Duff: There might be a couple of content related qualification, we need to have a couple of internal discussions

JN: It is often hard to get comments from people who are not involved in the process

JC: Figuring out if we can test these mappings is important. Maybe through WPT via a pdf.js. Then we'll start filing bugs against the browsers

JN: I18n, Security, and Privacy folks will comment because of the Horizontal Review process

Zach: Good to know about WPT, that's been difficult for us to get to know how we could go about it

Conversion to HTML from sheet

Zach: Thanks James Craig for walking me through the scripts in the PDF AAM
… I've been working with the processor to help pair down some of the info and data that we have
… Trying to make the export more clean
… There is a bit of work that the PDF association can do to streamline the process
… Working session tomorrow, hopefully we can take a spreadsheet and export it right away
… That will streamline the process
… Hopefully the initial export will be done either before January 2025 or slightly after

JC: Good collaborative session

Daniel: What to do with duplicate information in Core-AAM?

Zach: Depends on how often the Core-AAM document is updated

Valerie: There are links between the specs, we leaned towards not having duplication
… Core-AAM doesn't change that much, it mostly documents what browsers do

William: If I were developing ai think I would prefer a single source of truth

JC: I think that iss the intention of moving it into the ARIA monorepo

Paul: We were basically copying from the HTML-AAM and ARIA into the sheet. I think there is a better way to do that

William: I was suggesting what the HTML-AAM does. For example with the <a> element.

JC: That is exactly what is intended for this. The only time you are going to see it in this is when it's different

Daniel: I agree with the mappings approach. I was talking more about the editorial parts

Zach: I am of two minds with this.

William: A lot of this will not be the same.

Zach: I think there's going to be a hybrid
