 ============
 
 ``gitnet`` is a Python 3 package with tools for collecting, cleaning, and exporting datasets from local Git repositories, as well as creating network datasets and visualizations. The primary purpose of ``gitnet`` is to provide scholarly tools to study the collaboration structure of free and open source software development projects, but may also be of use to organizations, project managers, and curious coders.
 
-``gitnet`` is currently under active development by the University of Waterloo's NetLab_. The current build offers flexible tools for working with local Git repositories. Future iterations will include support for creating networks using issue report and pull request data, tools for analyzing contributors' communication networks, reproducible data collection, and more tools for increased flexibility. If you are curious about the project, want tips regarding how to use ``gitnet``, find a bug, or wish to request a feature, please feel free to email a contributor or submit an issue report.

+Retrieving Data
 ---------------------------
 
 Currently, only local Git retrieval is supported. Use the `get_log()` function to create a ``CommitLog`` object, by passing a file path for the Git repository.

+The Log Class
 -------------------
 
 The core data class for all data collected by ``gitnet`` is a ``Log``. ``Logs`` contain a core dataset of records, attributes documenting its retrieval, and a number of methods to explore, clean, and export the data it contains. In practice, users will generally use a subclass of the ``Log`` class, with extra features appropriate for the source of their data (e.g. the ``Log`` subclass for Git commit data is called ``CommitLog``, and has methods for generating author-file networks, ignoring files by extension, and so on.)

 When you create a network using ``gitnet``, it is represented as a ``MultiGraphPlus`` object, which is a subclass of the networkx_ class for undirected graphs with duplicate edges, the ``MultiGraph``. ``MultiGraphPlus`` inherits all the features of a ``MultiGraph``, and so can be used with all ``networkx`` functions that have ``MultiGraph`` support. However, ``MultiGraphPlus`` defines a number of new methods to make working with ``gitnet`` networks more convenient. The methods unique to ``MultiGraph`` are:
