Extend documentation 'Reviewing for JOSS'
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.
