Are you going to be able to squash them on your end? I'm not sure how to do it once it's already pushed to github.
@steven-cutting yeah, we squash and merge. All good @jorisvandenbossche ?

@jreback @jorisvandenbossche 
With the "contributing" section being added, I feel that the "Discussion and Development" section should change to the "Discussion and Getting Help" section.
@steven-cutting I made a small edit and split it just in two separate sections ("Gettting Help" and "Discussion and development")

Thanks for the PR!
@jorisvandenbossche 
Excellent, thanks.
