@maelle @rOpenSci maybe, once I'm back working, I'll go ahead and get ggseg through peer review ☺️ I for sure need some.maintenamce help, as time is hard to come by alone!

@Drmowinckels @rOpenSci Unfortunately visualization packages are no longer in scope https://devguide.ropensci.org/softwarereview_policies.html#aims-and-scope 😬

@maelle @rOpenSci
I like this post a lot! I will say, one of the best parts of maintaining a package with @rOpenSci is that I can tag issues "help wanted" to get them broadcasted to the community. I've gotten some fantastic contributions to geojsonio as a result of that.

If you're ever looking for success stories, these two geojsonio PRs were a huge help -- and came directly from the help-wanted advertisements:

https://github.com/ropensci/geojsonio/pull/189

https://github.com/ropensci/geojsonio/pull/195

steffilazerte,

@MikeMahoney218 @maelle @rOpenSci

Soooo good to hear! I'll make a note, thanks!
