👋 @clausnagel @chenkianwee @GANys - would any of you be willing to review this submission for JOSS? We carry out our checklist-driven reviews here in GitHub issues and follow these guidelines: https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reviewer_guidelines.html

The submission we'd be asking you to review is 3dfier: automatic reconstruction of 3D city models.

• The software package is here: https://github.com/tudelft3d/3dfier
• The short paper here: joss.02853/10.21105.joss.02853.pdf

[GANys]

@arfon, I certainly agree.

Is there any deadline?

[arfon]

@GANys - excellent, thanks! We generally aim to have JOSS reviews complete within six weeks, but given their iterative nature, it's often most effective if you can start your review in the first couple of weeks (to give initial feedback to the authors).

Does that sound OK?

[GANys]

It seems more than feasible.

[arfon]

@whedona add @GANys as reviewer

[arfon]

[arfon]

It seems more than feasible.

Great, thanks! I won't open the actual review until we've identified a second reviewer but hopefully this won't take too long.

[chenkianwee]
