Would you recommend publishing someplace else? We hoped list members
would have opinions on this and welcome comments and suggestions.
All the best,

This is a little outside my field, even though I'm a computer
scientist.
I work at the interface between computing and industrial
engineering...
Yes, this is what makes the choice difficult. Org-mode is tough to
categorize. It cuts across field boundaries in sometimes amazing ways.
I was surprised at your choice simply because there appears to be
nothing relevant to statistics about what you have written. A more
broad computer science journal may make sense, such as "Programming
and
Computer Software" from Springer or maybe the "IEEE Transactions on
Software Engineering?" But I really don't know which are the best
journals for something like this.
Thanks for the helpful suggestions, which we'll follow up.
I think the idea of submitting to JSS came from the functional overlap
with Sweave, which is widely used by the R community, and the ease
with which compendia can be implemented in Org-mode. The compendium
idea seems to have developed largely within the statistical computing
community, with strong ties to R in particular. JSS is one place the
R community congregates, so we thought the article would get some
attention there.
Hopefully somebody else from the list will have a better idea!
As usual, you've provided good food for thought.
All the best,
Tom
