Extend documentation 'Reviewing for JOSS'

Open FlorianK13 opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Hi all, as I am doing my first Review for JOSS, I am missing a small documentation about Issues that are created in the repository of the reviewed software:

As I understood, a lot of the Review work happens in the Issue tracker of the submitted software. Could you propose something like a 'typical Issue workflow' in the Reviewing for JOSS section of your documentation? Questions that could be answered there:

  • How to name Issues (maybe a tag in brackets at the beginning: [JOSS Review] You could improve this part of your software)
  • Who closes an issues? The Reviewer if he / she is happy with the implemented changes?

I think a short guide like this could avoid confusion for both Reviewers and Software Maintainers. And of course it would not be mandatory, but it would be a great orientation.
