Meeting minutes

Work status and next steps

Zakk: Topic: Sharing a text-based file as to your comment on export 7
… We have a bunch of table header entries for the various combinations of scope (column, both, no scope, and no header). There's a bunch of different attributes. Trying to figure out the best way to name those
… I'll get this committed so that we have a commit and there we'll solicit your feedback

Daniel: Appreciated.

Zakk: I'll update my export

Zakk: Not to much update otherwise
… We'll continue to work through the exports and use the github issues

Daniel: I'll take a look at the spreadsheet and proposse some timelines

Zakk: I think we don't need anything from you until the next meeting, by that time we may have one or more open PRs
… We may end up having some TBDs. By the end of first quarter I'd like everything moved over to HTML, and by quarter 2 we'd like to focus on the list and specific mappings, as well as start the process to reach out to AT devs

Zakk: I recall some TBDs are OK
… Thanks to Patrick we've been pick up some stuff in the PDFA meetings

jcraig: We wouldn't want two tracking systems. Whatever system you want to use is fine, there are benefits to using GitHub (automatic handling of issues and prs). But PDFA should be the one who decides what and when to move over

Zakk: The goal is to have fewer sources of truth

jcraig: One of the great things of github is that it's easy to contribute ideas via PRs

jcraig: Once you get all this tables in there it should be easier to modify the tables by creating a simple PR

Patrick: What to do when we come across mappings that are new or have doubts?

jcraig: This meeting is fine, or opening broader issues

Daniel: I'd say this meeting is best and potentially quicker, this group acts as a sounding board

Duff: Excited to hear that we'd be transfering the spreadsheet to the ED by end of first quarter

jcraig: And also we should make sure all your previous notes get transferred as editorial notes to the ED
