Research direction

Start with README and CONTRIBUTING.md, then look through the repository for existing DEER form examples or instructions to link. Update the README with links, steps for creating a first DEER form, and a contributor section linking to CONTRIBUTING.md; done means a newcomer can follow the instructions and find contributor guidance.

Description

OSS

This really needs to be improved. It should have links and instructions on how to make your first DEER form. It should also have a section for contributors that links to CONTRIBUTING.md
