How do you create new sources?

[jpdrennon]

This is more of a general question for the folks that have put in a TON of work on this. How do you go about creating an entire new source xml? Do you painstakingly manually create each item, background, race, etc? Or do you run a script that converts the PDF version of a new book into xml? Or some other method? This is really just a question being asked as someone who would like to contribute in the future and not just take what you all have built. Either way, much appreciated work you've done.

The short answer is there’s another larger community converting source data to json, I don’t know how they do it, probably a mixture of automated and manual. I work with a smaller community to convert the json to xml. Details are intentionally left fuzzy to protect everyone involved.
