[arfon]

:wave: @usethedata - this looks like it could be a good fit for you. I'll go ahead and assign this to you now - please let me know if this is a problem.

[arfon]

@whedon assign @usethedata as editor

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @usethedata

[vsoch]

Thank you @whedon, @arfon, and @usethedata! Since this is a Python-based tool that is generally usable across domains, I'll suggest reviewers that are keen on Python. I'll also try to choose reviewers that aren't currently reviewing, and haven't reviewed recently to help balance the work.

• khinsen
• ahurriyetoglu
• Adrianzo
• jochym
• cbrueffer

Let me know if you want others, or otherwise different.

[usethedata]

@vsoch -- Thank you.

@khninsen and @cbrueffer -- Would you be willing to review this paper for the Journal of Open Source Software? I realize this would be a first review and I'm happy to help walk through that process. When I have at least one (and preferably the needed two) reviewers, I will open up a review issue that will have a checklist for each reviewer and some additional instructions. My email is in my GitHub profile if you'd like to discuss off-line.

[vsoch]

@khinsen see above!

[cbrueffer]

Hi everyone,

looks interesting; happy to review, but I won't have time to work on this for the next ~two weeks. If that's alright, please sign me up.

[usethedata]

@cbrueffer When do you think you would be able to work on this?

[cbrueffer]

I can commit to it from about June 13.

[vsoch]

That's definitely okay with me!

[usethedata]

@whedon assign @cbrueffer as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @cbrueffer is now a reviewer

[usethedata]

@khinsen 👋 Pinging on this issue. Are you able to review this paper for JOSS?

[khinsen]

@usethedata Yes, I can review this submission. Sorry for not reacting earlier, but GitHub notified me only today of being mentioned in this thread.

[usethedata]

@whedon add @khinsen as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @khinsen is now a reviewer

[usethedata]

@whedon start review

[whedon]

OK, I've started the review over in https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/2284.
