@whedon assign @danielskatz as editor

OK, the editor is @danielskatz

@leouieda - can you suggest some reviewers for this submission?

Hi @danielskatz thank you for editing the submission. From the list of reviewers, here are a few that might be interested: @krother @dghoshal-lbl @mih Others that come to mind are the main developers of Intake, which has some similar functionality to Pooch: @martindurant and @jsignell. There is also @hmaarrfk who is implementing Pooch as the download manager for scikit-image.

👋 @krother & @martindurant - would you be willing to review this submission for JOSS? (See https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reviewer_guidelines.html for what reviewing for JOSS)

The authors of Pooch ought to know about Intake ( fatiando/rockhound#43 ), and indeed the ability of Pooch to be hooked into other systems is an important point. Will try to find time for a proper review, but don't want to commit.

👋 @jsignell - would you be willing to review this submission for JOSS? (See https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reviewer_guidelines.html for what reviewing for JOSS)

👋 @hmaarrfk - would you be willing to review this submission for JOSS? (See https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reviewer_guidelines.html for what reviewing for JOSS)

Is there a version that can be downloaded with double spacing so we may write our notes on it?

No, sorry

Note that the paper is fairly short, and the review is of both the paper and software, using a checklist for the reviewer criteria

JOSS reviewers generally write notes

• here as comments in this issue
• in the source repository as issues
• potentially as pull requests on the .md file in the source repository

got it, i typically go through my notes on paper and organize them again a second time, just being visual, it sometimes helps to be able to scribble things down.

Are you willing to review this?

yes.

thank you - I'll assign you in our system, but the review itself won't start until we get a second reviewer, and it will take place in a new "review" issue, not this "pre-review" issue

@whedon assign @hmaarrfk as reviewer

OK, the reviewer is @hmaarrfk

👋 @martindurant - can I ask you again if you would be willing to be a reviewer?
