Dear GeoPython subscriber, The Journal of Open Source Software is a recently created, developer-friendly journal for research software packages. It is fully open, free and community led. Peer reviews are done in the open, on GitHub. See http://joss.theoj.org We have one submission titled "Advanced viewshed analysis: a Quantum GIS plug-in for the analysis of visual landscapes" for which we've not been able to locate a reviewer after 12 days — this is longer than normal for us! Here is the submission (via a GitHub Issue): https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/32 And here is a related blog post from the software author: http://zoran-cuckovic.from.hr/landscape-analysis/visibility/?ckattempt=1 Peer reviews are aimed at the software and check: installation, documentation, statement of need, tests, community guidelines, etc. The paper itself is a one-page summary. http://joss.theoj.org/about#reviewer_guidelines If any list subscriber would volunteer to review, or forward this request on to their network, we would be most grateful. Regards, L. A. Barba
