Roadmap

What we’re building next.

Next

v1.0

In active development for the next release.

  • IIIF manifest import/export

    Pull witnesses straight from IIIF manifests, and publish editions that cite back to them.

  • eScriptorium import

    Bring ALTO and PageXML transcriptions in from eScriptorium without re-keying.

  • Transkribus integration

    Bring transcriptions and HTR results in from Transkribus without re-keying.

Later

v1.1

Planned, but after v1.0 lands.

  • Collaborative editing

    Shared projects with multiple editors, roles, and a change history.

  • API access for institutional users

    A documented API so departments can script ingest, export, and reporting.

  • Plugin system

    Extension points for custom normalisation rules, exporters, and lexicon sources.

Considering

v2

On our minds, not yet committed. Tell us if you need these.

  • Real-time collaboration

    Live multi-cursor editing on the same edition, not just shared projects.

  • Mobile reading mode

    A read-and-annotate view of finished editions tuned for phones and tablets.
