πŸ‘‹πŸΌ @ytarazona, @dbuscombe-usgs, @KBodolai: this is the review thread for the paper. Just about all of our communications should will happen here from now on. πŸ˜„

As a reviewer, the first step is to create a checklist for your review by entering

@editorialbot generate my checklist

as the top of a new comment in this thread.

These checklists contain the JOSS requirements. As you go over the submission, please check any items that you feel have been satisfied. The first comment in this thread also contains links to the JOSS reviewer guidelines.

The JOSS review is different from most other journals. Our goal is to work with the authors to help them meet our criteria instead of merely passing judgment on the submission. As such, the reviewers are encouraged to submit issues and pull requests on the software repository. When doing so, please mention openjournals/joss-reviews#6692 so that a link is created to this thread (and I can keep an eye on what is happening). Please also feel free to comment and ask questions on this thread. In my experience, it is better to post comments/questions/suggestions as you come across them instead of waiting until you've reviewed the entire package.

Please feel free to ping me (@mikemahoney218) if you have any questions/concerns.

@mikemahoney218 and reviewers, thank you so much for taking your time during this process. We will keep an eye on the thread.

Just as a quick note: I'm going to be traveling and generally less available until May 20th. I'll still be checking GitHub and email intermittently (so feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns), but apologies if it takes me a bit longer to respond than usual!

Hi @dbuscombe-usgs and @KBodolai ! I wanted to bump this now that we're about a month into the review window, and ask how your reviews were progressing/if you're still expecting to complete your reviews on the original timeline.

Just as a reminder, the first step in the review is to post @editorialbot generate my checklist as the start of a new comment in this thread, which will generate a review checklist for you to use!

Sorry for the delay, and thanks for the reminder. I was able to devote all day to this today, reading and testing everything. This is mostly great and mostly works as described, but I have a few issues I'd like to see tackled, and one requested edit for the paper. I'd be an end-user of this software for sure, and I'm sure it will be valuable for the community. I'll be in touch soon!

Thank you so much @dbuscombe-usgs !

Hi @mikemahoney218 , apologies for the delay, I set aside some time later this week to do it, so hopefully will be done by the end of the week!

Fantastic, thank you!
