👋 @prashjha - would you be willing to edit this submission?

[danielskatz]

@editorialbot invite @prashjha as editor

[editorialbot]

Invitation to edit this submission sent!

[danielskatz]

👋 @LeeoBianchi - thanks for your submission. As you can see, the next step is for me to find an editor, who will then find reviewers and get the review started. If you have any suggestions for potential reviewers, then please mention them here in this thread (without tagging them with an @). You can search the list of people that have already agreed to review and may be suitable for this submission.

@danielskatz mentioned this review to me and I wanted to list some possible reviewers with expertise in healpix and parallelization (although I'm not sure about Julia experience):

• The authors of healpy, e.g. @zonca
• The authors of s2fft, e.g. @CosmoMatt or @jasonmcewen

[LeeoBianchi]

Thank you @danielskatz. I have looked at the list you provided, there are many options and I don't think I know anyone in there. For example Yufeng Luo is the only one that comes up when cross searching for Julia and parallel computing.

Thank you @danielskatz. I have looked at the list you provided, there are many options and I don't think I know anyone in there. For example Yufeng Luo is the only one that comes up when cross searching for Julia and parallel computing.

There's no reason just to suggest people you know. Anyone who seems like a potentially good reviewer based on what information available would be good to suggest, and would help the editor.

Then I'd say, besides Yufeng Luo, RobertRosca, Rohit Goswami, Michael Schlottke-Lakemper, Uwe Hernandez Acosta and Manuel Behrendt might be a good match.

Hi @amartinhuertas, @baxmittens, @sloede, @ManuelBehrendt, @crbinz, @marcobonici, would you be interested in reviewing the JOSS submission above (pdf link)? The corresponding software is at this link.

This link covers almost everything about the review process; I will be happy to help with more information.

Please let me know if you are interested. Thank you!

[marcobonici]

Sure, happy to get involved!

[prashjha]

@marcobonici great! Adding you as a reviewer.

[prashjha]

@editorialbot add @marcobonici as reviewer

[editorialbot]

@marcobonici added to the reviewers list!

[baxmittens]

Do you need more reviewers? I have never done this before.

[prashjha]

Hi @baxmittens, we need two reviewers and I only got one so far. Let me know if you are up for it.

Review process is quite straightforward and is done in github (new issue will be created for review). It is explained in the link I shared earlier. I can also help with more details as we go along.

[baxmittens]

Then I will gladly join in.

[sloede]

Due to multiple other obligations, I will definitely not be able to start a thorough review before the second week of April. If this is not too late, I'd be happy to do the review though!

[prashjha]

@baxmittens, great. I am adding you as a reviewer.

[prashjha]

@editorialbot add @baxmittens as reviewer

[editorialbot]

@baxmittens added to the reviewers list!

[prashjha]

@sloede, thank you for your response. We have two reviewers so I will not trouble you. :)

[prashjha]

@editorialbot start review

[editorialbot]

OK, I've started the review over in #6467.
