Open Manuscript Studio Wiki

Open Manuscript Studio is the open-source reference implementation of the Open Manuscript Initiative (OMI): a structured, multilingual scholarly authoring environment for writing, reviewing, exchanging, and preparing manuscripts for publication without locking them to one application, operating system, or publishing platform.

Current release line: 0.1.0-beta.2 · public beta

Principle: Write naturally. Structure once. Publish everywhere.

Current platform status

Platform	State
Web	Operational hosted Studio
Windows x64	Operational; EXE and MSI build paths
Linux x64	Automated AppImage and DEB builds
macOS Apple Silicon / Intel	Automated DMG builds; signing and notarization hardening continues
Android	Operational public beta with the system document picker
iOS / iPadOS	Native simulator build validated; distribution signing and physical-device validation remain

All clients share the React/TypeScript application core and the portable OMI manuscript model. Tauri 2 supplies native desktop and mobile integration; the Node.js API and PostgreSQL provide account, review, institutional, and integration services.

Documentation map

The Wiki is the maintained navigation and operational overview. Detailed, code-adjacent documentation remains versioned with the implementation:

• Repository README — capabilities, platform status, and development commands
• Repository documentation — implementation and deployment notes
• OMI website and specifications — stable public architecture, governance, and format documentation
• Release notes
• Issue tracker
• Security policy

Project boundary

Studio is a reference implementation, not a proprietary replacement for the OMI specifications. Application releases, native package build numbers, and OMI schema versions are deliberately versioned separately. A Studio update does not automatically imply a manuscript-format migration.
