Our new journal, Humanities Methods in Librarianship, is now on Manifold. We invite you check out the new site and let us know what you think! Manifold is an open source web platform for journals and other publishing projects that is developed by a team based at CUNY, the University of Minnesota Press, and Cast Iron Coding.

One thing we like about Manifold is that it is opinionated about CSS. The house style is very distinct, but we are on board with it because we like it. However, I get the impression that if we wanted to deviate from the house style, it would be challenging. For now this is fine; we will see about the fit over the longer term. It is nice to work with tools that are aesthetically well-designed out of the box. Manifold allowed us to get up and running with a visually pleasing site with very little effort.

Lastly, I’ve started enthusiastically opening issues on the GitHub repository for the Manifold project. I hope that these are appreciated and not annoying to the maintainers. We’ll see how this goes…
