[mooniean]

@crvernon happy to!

[editorialbot]

Assigned! @mooniean is now the editor

[mooniean]

@mprib 👋 Hi! I'll be editing this paper.

Before we start, are there any reviewers you'd like to suggest?

[mprib]

Thank you for taking this on, @mooniean!

In the past I reviewed a JOSS project (JeFaPaTo) with a similar stack of tools used in Caliscope (python/qt/mediapipe). The lead on that project (timozen) may be well suited to comment on this. Otherwise I have no suggestions.

[mooniean]

Thank you for suggesting, @mprib!

Hi 👋 @timozen @DavidPagnon @MrMallIronmaker - would you be available and interested in reviewing this submission for the Journal of Open Source Software?

Thanks in advance!

[davidpagnon]

I would be happy to! However, I probably won't have time to review it before mid-September. Would it work for you?

[Timozen]

@mooniean you can count me in ^^
