Hello human, I'm @whedon, a robot that can help you with some common editorial tasks. @wholmgren, @dalonsoa it looks like you're currently assigned to review this paper If you haven't already, you should seriously consider unsubscribing from GitHub notifications for this (https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews) repository.

Not exactly an acceptance-blocker, but certainly desirable to understand how the software works NREL/bifacial_radiance#191 |

Not an acceptance blocker, but it will be useful for the authors to elaborate NREL/bifacial_radiance#193 |

@melissawm It seems there’s a figure missing in the Software Paper. It is present in the repository and it appears when showing the markdown file of the paper in GitHub but it is not rendered when creating the PDF. I'm not sure of the reason for that. |

I think it does matter, yes. Sorry for not catching this before. @shirubana could you clarify? I'll check about the picture. Thanks! |

Well the DOI paper was published in 2017 when we started and it seems we changed the license to BSD-3 1 year ago, as per the github history of the file... @cdeline can you confirm if BSD-3 is what we will go on forever now and/or if we need to consolidate? I think a simple solution would be to write a note of the switch on the documentation (maybe on the updates, package overview and/or contribution guidelines). |

Yes, we’re using a BSD-3 license for the software for now and forever more.

@melissawm the COI policy states:
@shirubana was a graduate student at my organization, University of Arizona, from 2012- Dec 2018. So there is 1-2 month overlap over the past year. But, the COI policy also states as an example of when a waiver can be granted:
We knew of each other but very rarely interacted. Different departments, siloed research programs. I wouldn't have any problem providing an impartial review of this paper. |

Also on the subject of the license, it includes this NREL specific language:
Does this violate the requirement "Does the repository contain a plain-text LICENSE file with the contents of an OSI approved software license?" My own opinion is "no" but seems like a question for the editors. |

@wholmgren - the conflict you describe is weak enough that it can be waived, but thank you for making this possible issue transparent. |
