[danielskatz]

@dmcki23 - Can I suggest you change Paper.md to paper.md?

[danielskatz]

Also, I don't understand from the paper text how this is related to CellPyLib, since the text says "CellPyLib ... is a kind of swiss army knife of cellular automata, this project is a specialty tool." What does this offer that CellPyLib does not?

[dmcki23]

Hi! Changed the paper.md capitalization and tweaked that part of the paper

[danielskatz]

@dmcki23 - the paper doesn't compile because the author has no affiliation metadata. Please follow the example paper and note that you can click on the error above to find out more about it. Please feel free to make changes to your .me file, then use the command @editorialbot generate pdf after making changes to the .md file to make a new PDF. editorialbot commands need to be the first entry in a new comment.

[danielskatz]

note that you can use "Independent Researcher, [Country]" in case you are doing this work outside an institution.

[danielskatz]

@dmcki23 - while you are working on getting the paper to compile (which I think is close), I'm going to ask the JOSS editors for their opinions to be sure that this is research software as defined by JOSS. You should hear back in a couple of weeks.

There we go! Added the affiliation tags, then added missing index tags, then fixed a misspelling, then some wrong dashes

[danielskatz]

Thanks @dmcki23 - As a small note, you don't need the sentence about the repository at the end of the Summary, as this is in the column to the left already. In any case, let's see how the editor discussion about scope proceeds.
