I don't know which reviewers to ask. Anyone comfortable with Python and Machine Learning will probably do the trick, but there are quite a few of those. There is no one in specific that I would like as reviewer.

@whedon assign @arokem as editor

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @arokem

@arokem : This is an obvious submission for you to handle, and it should be easy to find reviewers. For example, @rhiever 👋 …would be ideal to review this, if available & willing. If not, he may be able to help us identify a couple of reviewers.

[rhiever]

I'd love to, but I haven't had much extra time for reviewing lately. Maybe @mfeurer? @ledell or someone on the H2O dev team? @weixuanfu?

[weixuanfu]

I think it is a very interesting tool and I believe @PGijsbers did very good jobs related to autoML, but I didn't have much time for reviewing neither.

[arokem]

Yep. Thanks for assigning me. Will take a look.

[arokem]

@fmohr : would you like to review this article for The Journal of Open Source Software?

[mfeurer]

Thanks for suggesting me @rhiever, but I don't feel comfortable reviewing a paper of a collaborator.

[fmohr]

Hey, thanks for asking @arokem. In general, I am open to review for JOSS. In this particular case, however, I'm afraid I can't help out; I'm a Java guy and not at all an expert for Python. I don't know to which degree this is a problem, but Pieter mentions this as one of two criterions, so probably speaking Python should be a criterion.

[PGijsbers]

I have to admit I'm not intimately familiar with the level of code inspection that is done in the JOSS review process. I listed Python as required since the package is written entirely in Python, I figured it would make sense to look for people who are familiar so as to save time in the review process. That said, I would probably feel the same reviewing a package written in Java.

[arokem]

Yes. That all makes sense. Thanks for your candor, @fmohr.

Let's keep looking for a reviewer that speaks Python...

[arokem]

Hey @krother, @nilesh-patil : would either or both of you be willing to review this article for JOSS?

[arokem]

Hey @jsgalan, @tupi: would either or both of you be willing to review this article for JOSS? I realize that we are coming on the holidays. If you think that you will have time to review this in the new year, that's fine too.

[jsgalan]

Hi all,

Yes, i will have time to review it. Please assign it to me :)

Best

[arokem]

@whedon assign @jsgalan as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, the reviewer is @jsgalan

[arokem]

@whedon start review

[whedon]

OK, I've started the review over in #1132. Feel free to close this issue now!

[arokem]

Thanks for taking this on @jsgalan ! Please head over to #1132 for the review checklist. I am closing this one.
