[danielskatz]

@soraxas - thanks for this submission. I'll be your editor.

If you have any suggestions for potential reviewers then please mention them here in this thread (without tagging them with an @). In addition, this list of people have already agreed to review for JOSS and may be suitable for this submission (please start at the bottom of the list).

While we look for reviewers, you could work on the possibly missing DOIs that whedon suggests, but note that some may be incorrect. Please feel free to make changes to your .bib file, then use the command @whedon check references to check again, and the command @whedon generate pdf when the references are right to make a new PDF. Whedon commands need to be the first entry in a new comment.

[danielskatz]

@whedon assign me as editor

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @danielskatz

[soraxas]

Hi @danielskatz thanks for the info!

Based on the given list, in reverse order: KanishAnand, seungback, OlgerSiebinga, ekorudiawan, etc. look like suitable candidates as reviewers (with Robotics as domain/topics and python as preferred language)

[soraxas]

👋 @KanishAnand, @seungback, @OlgerSiebinga - would one or two of you be willing to review this submission for JOSS?

[KanishAnand]

@danielskatz I am willing to review

[danielskatz]

Thanks @KanishAnand - I'll add you in the system, and then once we get one or two more reviewers, we'll start the review in a new issue.

[danielskatz]

@whedon assign @KanishAnand as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @KanishAnand is now a reviewer

[OlgerSiebinga]

@danielskatz - Yes, I'm willing to review as well

[danielskatz]

Thanks @OlgerSiebinga. I'll add you as well.

I've made an email request to another group, and would like to wait for a day or so to see if they are interested too - But either way, we'll start in 48 hours or so.

[danielskatz]

@whedon add @OlgerSiebinga as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @OlgerSiebinga is now a reviewer

[danielskatz]

@whedon start review

Ok, let's go ahead and get started!

[whedon]

OK, I've started the review over in https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/3782.
