👋 @akeshavan - sorry, I assigned this to you while starting the process without checking with you first. Are you willing to edit this submission?

👋 @corybrunson - this submission needs a license - please add a plain text LICENSE file with the OSI-approved license that you are using for the software (which I think is GPL-3).

Also, please check to see if the missing DOI whedon suggests is correct, and if so, add it to the .bib file. (Whedon suggestions are just suggestions, and sometimes they are wrong.)

@danielskatz thank you! I've added the missing DOI. To be sure, is it good practice to simply put the standard GPLv3 license text (file name LICENSE) in the root directory, assuming i don't intend any deviations from that standard?

Yes, and if there are any deviations, you have changed the license to a non-OSI-approved one, which would mean that JOSS would not consider the submission.

Right, thank you for pointing that out. In a moment i'll push the Markdown GPLv3 obtained from here, renamed LICENSE.md.

not LICENSE.md but LICENSE

not LICENSE.md but LICENSE

Thank you, this has been changed (using the plain text version of GPLv3).

From the list of potential reviewers, @kellieotto, @njtierney, and @clauswilke seem to have very relevant expertise and interests.
