Hello! I think Pierre-Yves de Müllenheim and Phil Snyder would be good fits for reviewers.

@laurenwilner thanks for making those changes. I see you use a BSD-3 clause license. It seems both our system and GitHub do not recognise it. Can you check if your license text exactly confirms to the official text: https://opensource.org/license/bsd-3-clause?

@laurenwilner I've just flagged this submission for scope review so the editorial board can help check if this work is in scope and conforms to our substantial scholarly effort criterion. This scope review should take about 2 weeks to complete.

Thank you for flagging for scope review -- we look forward to hearing from you!

[arfon]

@Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman @laurenwilner – assuming this submission makes it through scope review, this paper looks very very long. @laurenwilner – our guideline is ~1000 words.

[laurenwilner]

Hello! Thanks for flagging. Is there any update on the scope review?

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@laurenwilner - thanks for your submission to JOSS. Unfortunately, after review by the JOSS editorial team we've determined that this submission doesn't meet our substantial scholarly effort criterion.

One possible alternative to JOSS is to follow GitHub's guide on how to create a permanent archive and DOI for your software. This DOI can then be used by others to cite your work.
