@rhdtownsend – thanks for your submission to JOSS. Could you suggest a few names (ideally folks you know are on GitHub( that might be able to provide a good review here?

[rhdtownsend]

Sure —

Carlos Allende Prieto — https://github.com/callendeprieto Dan Forman-Mackey — https://github.com/dfm (also a JOSS editor, I believe) Hugo Tabernero — https://github.com/hmtabernero Ansgar Wehrhahn — https://github.com/AWehrhahn

cheers,
