Hi and thanks for your submission! I am looking for some specific items to make sure your submission fits our requirements at a high level before moving on to finding an editor or putting this on our waitlist if no relevant editors are available. I'll comment as I have a chance to go through them:

• [x] Substantial scholarly effort
• [x] Documentation
• [x] Tests of some sort
• [x] Installation instructions
• [x] Clear research application
• [x] Check paper

[kthyng]

We have a backlog of submissions so I will add this to our waitlist. In the meantime, please suggest 5 reviewers from the database listed above or your own (non-conflicted) extended network. Their github handles are most useful to receive but please don't use "@" to reference them since it will prematurely ping them. Also please check on that possible missing DOI.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi @bobmyhill, Hi @jamespanton93,

Thanks for reaching out. There is no excuse for how long it takes me to handle your submission. A lot of things are going on, but I am actively searching again for more reviewers and hope we can soon proceed.

[bobmyhill]

@observingClouds thank you, no need to apologise, you are providing a service to the community! Especially given that our submission is outside your specialism.

@jamespanton93 and I can probably help with finding further reviewers if you have exhausted the selection above.

[observingClouds]

@bobmyhill, @jamespanton93 please feel free to suggest a few more reviewers. Thank you.
