 If you'd like to join in on developing, I recommend checking out the code,
-[setting up a virtual environment](https://packaging.python.org/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtualenv/),
-and doing `pip install -e .`. You can run the existing tests using
-`nosetests`. Please add tests for any new functionality.
+setting up a virtual environment, and installing this package in editable
+mode. You can confirm your environment works by running the tests. And please
+do join the [mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/sucks-users)
+to discuss your plans.
