@clockj - thanks for your submission to JOSS. We're currently managing a large backlog of submissions and the editor most appropriate for your area is already rather busy.

For now, we will need to waitlist this paper and process it as the queue reduces. Thanks for your patience!

@arfon
Hi Arfon,

I hope you're doing well. I wanted to follow up on the status of my paper submission — it's been over three months since I submitted, and I noticed I'm still on the waitlist. Could you kindly let me know if there are any updates or next steps?

Thanks so much for your time!

@clockj sorry for the delay here - actually, upon further review, this software by itself would not be eligible for JOSS review/publication, because GUI/wrappers are outside our scope.

However, the OpenLPT software itself would be in scope for JOSS, and this GUI could be reviewed alongside that (but the main focus would be the underlying software package, not the GUI).

How do you feel about submitting OpenLPT for review instead, assuming it is at the level of maturity (and has all the elements JOSS looks for)?

[kyleniemeyer]

@clockj just checking in here. If I don't hear something back by 30 April, I'll go ahead and withdraw this submission (but you can still submit OpenLPT later).
