[jats-list] [ANN] Feedback sought on a DOCX-to-JATS content-preservation prototype

["0520sdh@xxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm seeking feedback from people who check whether content survives
conversion from an approved DOCX manuscript to JATS.

I have an early prototype that compares a limited set of DOCX/JATS
structures and flags differences with source and output locations. Its
scope includes paragraphs, table values, captions, footnotes, and
citation/reference correspondence.

It has only been tested on synthetic documents. It has not been
validated on real publication workflows or across Microsoft Word
versions. I'm exploring whether this could become a useful paid tool;
it is not a production-ready product.

Would anyone involved in publishing or XML production be interested in
reviewing the approach? In particular:
- Which content-preservation checks take the most manual effort?
- Do your existing tools already cover these checks?
- What would you need to see before considering a trial?

Please describe workflows without sharing confidential manuscripts or
personal data.

Thank you.
