@arfon Thanks, on it.

karthik commented 6 years ago

@AquaTracker Thanks for the submission. Your software has no README file describing what the software does, how one might use it, or anything other information about installation requirements. There is a paper.bib.txt but no paper. Hidden inside https://raw.githubusercontent.com/reefpicker/AquaTracker/master/summary.txt is a note that this is Visual Basic software. I don't use it myself, so can you suggest reviewers who are able to judge your work?

reefpicker commented 6 years ago

Karthik,

Sorry, I have been a bit busy with work. Yes, I understand what it is missing and was planning out on adding the readme.

I believe anyone with C# or .NET skills could review the software source code. The software itself is available for download as an exe file at the NOAA website also so if you don't have the VB IDE/compiler, you could in theory review the materials submitted. It is very likely that folks who list having .NET and C# knowledge also have VB6 sitting around somewhere.

There is a spreadsheet I got from whedon (I think it was bot generated). I can pick names from there and submit them to you. How many should I select?

Thanks

@reefpicker I realize this submission is out of scope for me to serve as an editor. I'm not familiar with evaluating Visual Basic code or finding appropriate editors for it. So I'm going to excuse myself as an editor for this one and hand it back to @arfon

arfon commented 6 years ago

@CBenghi @Scivision - would you be willing to review this submission for JOSS?

CBenghi commented 6 years ago

Hello @arfon, I'll have a chat with the author to see what are the technical requirements. I don't think I have the tool-set at the moment, but if i can get it, I will happily review.

Here's the current list of reviewers: https://bit.ly/joss-reviewers

@CBenghi - I think we'd like to take you up on this offer if you're still willing?

@reefpicker - are there any other potential reviewers in the list above or people you'd recommend elsewhere on GitHub?

CBenghi commented 6 years ago

@arfon there's been a bit of back an forth with @reefpicker on a There was code missing in repository that prevented me from trying to convert/open in my development environment. This has been addressed a few days ago, but I've not been able to look into the updated version yet. I should be able to determine in a couple of days.

arfon commented 6 years ago

I should be able to determine in a couple of days.

OK thanks @CBenghi - please let me know here if you think you're able to review this.

CBenghi commented 6 years ago

@arfon, more files missing from the initial repository.

I doubt you'll find something else using vb6 in the editor's list. It's a 15 years old technology now discontinued by Microsoft. My plan is to try and get the code to working in a current development environment before review.

I'll keep working with @reefpicker and keep you informed if/when we manage.

reefpicker commented 6 years ago

I will like to officially retract this submission.

Thanks!
