PDF failed to compile for issue #3644 with the following error:

 Can't find any papers to compile :-(

[danielskatz]

@nmoran - where is the JOSS paper in your repository?
See https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/submitting.html#typical-paper-submission-flow and https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/submitting.html#example-paper-and-bibliography

[nmoran]

@danielskatz apologies I see that I gave the URL to the repository with the software and not the paper. Paper is at https://github.com/nmoran/juliaqx_joss.

Is it possible to change the URL or do I need to re-submit?

[danielskatz]

Ideally you would put the paper in the software repository, at least in a branch

[nmoran]

Thanks, have created a joss-paper branch and added the files there.

👋 @Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman - I wonder if you can take this, in part based on your Julia knowledge?

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@danielskatz sorry this is too far out of scope for me. Perhaps @melissawm might be suitable to handle this one?
