 ## Questions
 
-Feel free to use the issue tracker to ask questions!  We don't currently have a separate mailing list or active chat tool.  However, note that as wq grows we may eventually move questions to a separate tool.
+Questions and ideas can be submitted to the main [wq discussion board](https://github.com/wq/wq/discussions).
 
 ## Bug Reports
 
 wq is a highly modular framework and the code is split across several repositories.  If you are unsure where to report an issue, feel free to use the top-level [wq repository](https://github.com/wq/wq/issues).  Otherwise, enter your issue on the repository that most closely matches the component you are using.

 Pull requests are very welcome and will be reviewed and merged as time allows.  To speed up reviews, try to include the following whenever possible:
  * Reference the issue that the PR fixes (e.g. [#22](https://github.com/wq/wq/issues/22) or [wq/wq#22](https://github.com/wq/wq/issues/22) if in a different repository).
  * Failing test case fixed by the PR
- * If the PR provides new functionality to wq, a separate PR updating the [wq documentation](https://github.com/wq/wq/tree/master/docs).
+ * If the PR provides new functionality, a separate PR updating the [wq documentation](https://github.com/wq/wq/tree/main/docs).
  * Ensure the PR passes lint and unit tests.  This happens automatically, but you can also run these locally with the following commands:
 
 ```bash 
-./runtests.sh # run the test suite
-LINT=1 ./runtests.sh # run code style checking
+python -m unittest discover -s tests -t . # run the test suite
+flake8 # run code style checking

 Small changes and documentation fixes can usually be done using Github's online file editors.  For larger changes, we recommend the following workflow.
 
-Because wq is split across several repositories, we recommend installing the entire suite from PyPI, starting a test project, and then cloning the specific module you want to update.
