Buffy Questions and Challenges

• [ ] Assign editor doesn't include message element

why doesn't it include the custom message provided in the yaml - it does however return a template - why? the eic command should provide that template but not the editor command

    assign_editor:
      only: editors
      add_as_assignee: true
      message: "Hey :wave: ! Let's get this review going. The editor guide can be found at https://www.pyopensci.org/software-peer-review/how-to/editors-guide.html"
      add_labels:
        - "1/editor-assigned"
      remove_labels:
        - "0/pre-review-checks"
        - "New Submission!"

• [ ] assign eic vs assign editor: why is assign eic in a basic_command section - should assign editor be a basic command to? basic_command:

  • code_of_conduct: command: code of conduct description: Show our community Code of Conduct and Guidelines message: "Here's the pyOpenSci Community Code of Conduct: https://www.pyopensci.org/governance/CODE_OF_CONDUCT"
  • assign_eic:

• [ ] will remove editor also remove the person assigned to the issue? The reminder feature is great. but it says "authors" but it's grabbing from the reviewer field?

    reminders:
      only: editors
      authors:
        - author1
        - author2

is it possible to remind the package author (submitting author) to respond to reviews in x weeks or months too?

Assign editor doesn't include message element

No, the assign_editor responder does not accept message nor template_file, it just responds with the confirmation that the editor has been assigned

assign eic vs assign editor: why is assign eic in a basic_command section - should assign editor be a basic command to?

Well, assign_editor is an existing responder, because it performs a common editorial task. The assign eic command does not exists as an responder, so we use a basic_command responder to get the functionality we want to get with that command.

will remove editor also remove the person assigned to the issue?

Yes

The reminder feature is great. but it says "authors" but it's grabbing from the reviewer field?

I can be used to set reminders for the reviewers (people in the reviewers list) of for the author. By default the author is taken from the author-handle field. But it can be customized to specify other fields for the authors, in your example it would allow to set reminders for the users in the author1 and author2 fields instead of author-handle

is it possible to remind the package author (submitting author) to respond to reviews in x weeks or months too?

Yes!
