[salbalkus]

@crvernon @lrnv The paper pdf build is now working

[lrnv]

@salbalkus Thanks. Greatings btw, I'll be your editor on this submission then. Our first task is to find two-to-three suitable reviewers for this work. Would you by chance be able to propose a few ones ?

[salbalkus]

@lrnv Absolutely. It's unfortunate that the editorialbot detected all R packages; I think blind-contours would be a good reviewer for the topic if they know Julia.

olivierlabayle may be interested in reviewing since this paper cites TMLE.jl.

Otherwise, looking through the JOSS database, some potential reviewers include juliohm, epiben, and gdalle.

[lrnv]

@salbalkus I removed @ s from your message to avoid pinging everyone. Let me do that instead, thanks for the suggestions.

[juliohm]

I can find some time to review until the end of the year. Would that be ok? Em dom., 8 de dez. de 2024, 16:55, Salvador Balkus ***@***.***> escreveu:
