JOSS submission

[andersgs]

Requirements:

• [X] The software should be open source as per the OSI definition.
• [X] The software should have an obvious research application.
• [X] You should be a major contributor to the software you are submitting.
• [X] The software should be a significant contribution to the available open source software that either enables some new research challenges to be addressed or makes addressing research challenges significantly better (e.g., faster, easier, simpler).
• [X] The software should be feature-complete (no half-baked solutions) and designed for maintainable extension (not one-off modifications). Minor ‘utility’ packages, including ‘thin’ API clients, and single-function packages are not acceptable.
• [ ] Your paper (paper.md and BibTeX files, plus any figures) must be hosted in a Git-based repository. Placing these items together with your software (rather than in a separate repository) is strongly encouraged.

Your paper should include:

• [ ] A list of the authors of the software and their affiliations, using the correct format (see the example below).
• [ ] A summary describing the high-level functionality and purpose of the software for a diverse, non-specialist audience.
• [ ] A clear Statement of Need that illustrates the research purpose of the software.
• [ ] A list of key references, including to other software addressing related needs.
• [ ] Mention (if applicable) a representative set of past or ongoing research projects using the software and recent scholarly publications enabled by it.
• [ ] Acknowledgement of any financial support.
