When/How to add the pkg to RWeekly

[BatoolMM]

I am in charge of curating R weekly of this week. It's basically a weekly newsletter and podcast around everything new in R. We have a section around new and updated R packages. I would like to reference the new version of mapmetadata but I am expecting that we will need to reference a new release with the name changed, is that correct @RayStick? I am just double-checking.

Thanks Batool. Before promoting it, I would like to complete this issue: #171
I am working on it this morning, alongside emails and admin. Hopefully it will not take me long to compete! After that, I will ping the rOpenSci thread to get re-activate the review process. Do you think it is best to promote the package after the rOpenSci review process is complete? Or 'under review' is fine?

Both are fine - I think 2 levels of promotion (at different time points) are useful, so yes before rOpenSci review process is complete if you are comfortable - let's chat about it in the catch-up tomorrow.

Sounds good, thanks!

A quick mention to the package is added to this week's issue of RWeekly - https://rweekly.org/draft. So, I will close this issue - feel free to re-open it if needed!
