In the past it’s always been difficult to find appropriate peer reviewers for journal submissions – a real onerous task. Subsift draws up a list of potentially appropriate people to review papers and it can also generate emails to these people providing them the abstract asking them if they want to review the paper and it can automate the bidding process for paper reviews. Our project is to take this idea and turn it into an open source service tool.What problems/issues is it tackling?The difficulty of getting appropriate peer reviews for papers.How would you like other software developers and users to get involved in what you are doing?The outcome of the project will be open source, so it will be great if there are users and people interested in improving its functionality.What developer communities have you been involved in and if none, why not?I’m not sure as I’m not the lead developer on this one – he’s away so I’m standing in. But I imagine he hasn’t had enough time to really get involved with communities.What is the coolest or most exciting thing in educational software development?The thing that strikes me as having the most potential is the Link Data stuff. It’s hard to say it’s cool! But it will solve a raft of problems. It feels like a real solid data platform too.
