@ebgoldstein thanks for recommending reviewers. I will work on getting two or three reviewers for this submission. Once I've gotten a few reviewers, we will close this issue and start the review on a new dedicated review issue.

A couple of comments from me.

1. I would recommend adding a bit more motivation to the paper.md. Based on our conversation at AGU I know that there many qualities of this package that make collection and cataloging of images way easier, probably more appropriately described as actually possible. This doesn't come through clearly in the paper. I would recommend expanding the statement of need and/or adding a section that focuses on challenges to accessing this dataset that sets up the statement of need.

2. Reference Madore2018 needs and @ in front.

[ebgoldstein]

i corrected the madore ref, and will work on adding more motivation.

:wave: @katmratliff @chrisleaman @anderdyl @conlin-matt and @simmonsja would you be willing to review this submission for JOSS? We carry out our checklist-driven reviews here in GitHub issues and follow these guidelines: https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/review_criteria.html

This is a pre-review issue that I use to coordinate reviewers. Once there are sufficient reviewers (usually 2-3), I will open a new issue where the review will take place.

If you are not able, please let me know if you have recommendations for other reviewers. Please recommend without mentioning a handle (e.g., you would refer to me as @ kbarnhart instead of @kbarnhart). This way we attempt to reduce the number of people who are subscribed to this thread.

[katmratliff]

@kbarnhart I am willing to review.

[conlin-matt]

Hi @kbarnhart- I'm happy to review as well.

[chrisleaman]

@kbarnhart I’m happy to review 👍

[simmonsja]

Hi @kbarnhart I would be very happy to review too!

[kbarnhart]

thanks @katmratliff @conlin-matt @chrisleaman and @simmonsja for your rapid and enthusiastic interest! I think three reviewers is sufficient, and am going to select based on response order.

I'll now assign @katmratliff @conlin-matt @chrisleaman as reviewers, and then transition this submission from the PRE-REVIEW stage to the REVIEW stage on another issue.

[kbarnhart]

@whedon assign @katmratliff as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @katmratliff is now a reviewer

[kbarnhart]

@whedon add @conlin-matt as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @conlin-matt is now a reviewer

[kbarnhart]

@whedon add @chrisleaman as reviewer

[whedon]
