Thanks! I guess I might as well toot my own horn a bit!
You might be interested in this GitHub repository that I put together, with some software and a long document outlining a procedure for an "empirical" method of reconstructing a text from multiple witnesses:
Here is a short article, currently under review, summarizing the work:

Dear List MembersSincere thanks for all the informative and helpful responses, particularly from Dr. Birch and Prof. Griffith. I now have the relevant contacts and information to get started on.
For those on this List wishing to know, there are several Indological digital edition projects revealed by the responses, such as the work of the Dharma project, the Susrutasamhita project, the Dravyasamuddesa project, the Open Philology and the Andhra inscriptions project. Particularly noteworthy appears to be the work of saktumiva.org and Dr. Li in this regard.
With best wishes,Bihani

Dear List Members,
A very happy New Year. I hope this finds you well.
I write to inquire if anyone on this list may know about the production of digital editions of Sanskrit texts. There has been some exciting work in digital humanities and Biblical Studies, and I am eager to see if the latest advances can be used profitably for a research project I am developing.
Apart from designing such a digital edition, I am interested in learning about manuscript transcription tools using artificial intelligence such as Transkribus, digital collation tools, such as Collate-X, and digital tools for stemmatic analysis such as Stemmaweb.
If you have been involved, or know someone who is involved, in Indological research projects creating such editions, and are aware of all these issues, I would be extremely grateful for your help and advice (especially about costs involved and personnel). Please do contact me at bihani.sarkar@orinst.ox.ac.uk
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
