I think it's fine for us to have a very large list of co-authors. See, e.g., https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.14220

Suggested authors, in no particular order, include

@mmcky

@jlperla
@Smit-create
@thomassargent30
@sglyon

@albop
@natashawatkins

...

Please add, including other developers in https://quantecon.org/team/.

@jlperla , do you have time for this if we all write small parts? @Smit-create is volunteering to get things started. Please feel free to add co-authors.

JOSS seems to suggest an MD template: https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/submitting.html

Compilation is via a GH action: https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/submitting.html#github-action

Perhaps @mmcky might kick this process off?

1. Title
   Rather than just "QuantEcon", maybe more descriptive "QuantEcon.py: A community based Python library for quantitative economics" or something would be better?
2. The current version refers to the submodules (game_theory, markov, and others) as "major modules". I thought these were put into submodules just for maintenance reasons, and we didn't mean the top level routines were "minor"?
3. As future projects, only projects from game theory are mentioned. To have a good balance, it would be better to have a few more from other fields?
4. References that are not referred to in the text should not be listed.

Suggested structure from @Smit-create, copied from QuantEcon/meta#71

Just a suggestion -- as a basic outline we can divide this article into the following sections:

1. Abstract
2. Introduction and Background
3. QuantEcon capalabilites
   • markov (#6 )
   • optimize (#7 )
   • game_theory
   • miscellaneous
4. Architecture (we can include some details like using numpy/numba etc.)
5. Some benchmark results (speed results with and without numba or comparison with other libraries if exist.)
6. Future Work (maybe compatibility with GPU or Jax.)

I've just done another round of edits and I think we are ready to submit this.

@Smit-create , if you agree, could you please take care of it?
