+Checklist for the pandas documentation sprint (ignore this if you are doing
+an unrelated PR):
+
+- [ ] PR title is "DOC: update the <your-function-or-method> docstring"
+- [ ] The validation script passes: `scripts/validate_docstrings.py <your-function-or-method>`
+- [ ] The PEP8 style check passes: `git diff upstream/master -u -- "*.py" | flake8 --diff`
+- [ ] The html version looks good: `python doc/make.py --single <your-function-or-method>`
+- [ ] It has been proofread on language by another sprint participant
+
+Please include the output of the validation script below between the "```" ticks:
+
+```
+# paste output of "scripts/validate_docstrings.py <your-function-or-method>" here
+# between the "```" (remove this comment, but keep the "```")
+
+```
+
+If the validation script still gives errors, but you think there is a good reason
+to deviate in this case (and there are certainly such cases), please state this
+explicitly.
+
+
+Checklist for other PRs (remove this part if you are doing a PR for the pandas documentation sprint):

 - [ ] closes #xxxx
 - [ ] tests added / passed

 ## Discussion and Development
 Most development discussion is taking place on github in this repo. Further, the [pandas-dev mailing list](https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pandas-dev) can also be used for specialized discussions or design issues, and a [Gitter channel](https://gitter.im/pydata/pandas) is available for quick development related questions.
 
-## Contributing to pandas
+## Contributing to pandas [![Open Source Helpers](https://www.codetriage.com/pandas-dev/pandas/badges/users.svg)](https://www.codetriage.com/pandas-dev/pandas)
+
 All contributions, bug reports, bug fixes, documentation improvements, enhancements and ideas are welcome.
 
 A detailed overview on how to contribute can be found in the **[contributing guide.](https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/contributing.html)**
 
 If you are simply looking to start working with the pandas codebase, navigate to the [GitHub “issues” tab](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues) and start looking through interesting issues. There are a number of issues listed under [Docs](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues?labels=Docs&sort=updated&state=open) and [Difficulty Novice](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Difficulty+Novice%22) where you could start out.
 
+You can also triage issues which may include reproducing bug reports, or asking for vital information such as version numbers or reproduction instructions. If you would like to start triaging issues, one easy way to get started is to [subscribe to pandas on CodeTriage](https://www.codetriage.com/pandas-dev/pandas).
+
 Or maybe through using pandas you have an idea of your own or are looking for something in the documentation and thinking ‘this can be improved’...you can do something about it!
 
 Feel free to ask questions on the [mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/pydata) or on [Gitter](https://gitter.im/pydata/pandas).
