Section 1

Comparable journals do exist, also journals that keep discussion papers open (the abstract suggests this is the first journal), e.g. those of the European Geophysical Union, including software and data journals such as GMD. It would be good to highlight more what the niche of JOSS is wrt these domain journals with similar goals.

It may also be relevant to refer and discuss instrumentation journals which have a similar goal. They don’t publish new scientific results, but rather describe instruments, calibrations etc.

As I mentioned in a comment in #4, we should mention https://www.software.ac.uk/which-journals-should-i-publish-my-software here and maybe say that we don't know of a similar source of information for instruments, then talk a little about specific journals and make the point that there are multiple types of things that are not recognized - we are focused on software, not the others.
