Hello,

I believe the repository link of the original submission is broken. The repository is maintained at gitlab, however a mirror is on Github. The repository for this review needs to be updated to this link: https://github.com/CoreRobotics/CoreRobotics

From the list, @mosteo seems to be an appropriate reviewer. @jordigh as well.

Thanks for spotting this. It's now fixed in this review issue.

From the list, @mosteo seems to be an appropriate reviewer. @jordigh as well.

Thanks for the suggestions. We'll need an editor to assign themselves first before we can get going with the reviewers.

[danielskatz]

@whedon assign @danielskatz as editor

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @danielskatz

[danielskatz]

I'll take this, and will start things later today or tomorrow

[danielskatz]

@bmagyar - would you be willing to be on the other side of a JOSS paper and do a review?

@mosteo and @jordigh - would one of you be willing to review this as well?

See http://joss.theoj.org/about#reviewer_guidelines for JOSS reviewer guidelines.

[bmagyar]

@danielskatz Sure, no problem. Assign it to me

[danielskatz]

I will do so, and I will start the review once I get another reviewer, so there's no action for you at this point.

[danielskatz]

@whedon assign @bmagyar as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, the reviewer is @bmagyar

[danielskatz]

@CoreRobotics - Do you have any other reviewer suggestions? Such as someone else in the robotics community who knows software and is not conflicted with your or your co-authors, but perhaps isn't yet involved with JOSS? I would like to find a second reviewer.

[CoreRobotics]

@danielskatz - Hi Daniel, I'll ask around to see if I can find someone not in conflict. - Parker

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@amjaeger17 is this your cup of tea? Are you able to review this?

[amjaeger17]

Hi,
Yeah, I am interested, and can definetly help check off some of the boxes.

[danielskatz]

Thanks @amjaeger17 - I'll start the review in a few minutes

[danielskatz]

@whedon start review magic-word=bananas

[whedon]

OK, I've started the review over in #489. Feel free to close this issue now!
