Hi @JohnVolk and thanks for your submission! I am looking for some specific items to make sure your submission fits our requirements at a high level (not at the more detailed review level) before moving on to finding an editor or putting this on our waitlist if no relevant editors are available. I'll comment over time as I have a chance to go through them:

• OSI-approved license
• Installation instructions
• Documentation exists at all
• Tests of some sort
• Check paper (make sure compiles, read through, check for length 250-1000 words)
• Substantial scholarly effort
• Clear research application

In the meantime, please take a look at the comments above ⬆️ from the editorialbot to address any DOI, license, or paper issues if you're able (there may not be any), or suggest reviewers. For reviewers, please suggest 5 reviewers from the database listed above or your own (non-conflicted) extended network. Their github handles are most useful to receive but please don't use "@" to reference them since it will prematurely ping them.

[JohnVolk]

Sounds great @kthyng! I will look over all above. Thanks for your promptness and please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help make your job easier.

Here are five suggested reviewers in the meantime, without tags: SimonMolinsky; dlebauer; Carlitosh; nmstreethran; andres-patrignani

[kthyng]

@JohnVolk paper comments:

• need spaces before your references
• Please check the capitalization in your references. You can preserve capitalization by placing {} around characters/words in your .bib file.
• the paper is too long — I would recommend shortening the "Design and Features" section and moving any information removed from there to the docs if it isn't already there.
