CLA no longer applies, and somehow we missed the fact that the relevant anchor in README-dev.rst had changed to "tests" a long time ago.

The wheel building process is now managed by Github Actions rather than Travis CI. This should be addressed in a more comprehensive way when python-driver-wheels is donated.

Documentor isn't relevant anymore. We need to figure out how we want to render docs for this project; Sphinx is a possibility but Documentor isn't.

This will be changed based on how CI is implemented for this project. The old model of managing Jenkins runners won't be in use here.

@michaelsembwever We still reference the Google Group under "Mailing list" for the Java driver... I'd like to change that to something like this so that we can start pointing people to ASF Slack. Any objections?
| Error Handling | ||
| -------------- | ||
| While originally written for the Java driver, users may reference the `Cassandra error handling done right blog <https://www.datastax.com/blog/cassandra-error-handling-done-right>`_ for resolving error handling scenarios with Apache Cassandra. | ||
| See `CONTRIBUTING.rst <https://github.com/datastax/python-driver/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.rst>`_. |

The link pointed to in the "Error Handling" section above no longer works. There's an ongoing discussion around removing this section entirely for the Java driver as well.

@millerjp I'm curious whether you have any feedback on this as well |

@absurdfarce is cassandra/datastax/insights needed anymore? |
