Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's contributor-facing documentation and its GitHub Projects page to find the main entry point for new contributors. Highlight the projects page where contributors are directed to begin, and verify that the link clearly exposes current priorities and project direction.

Description

Problem

Finding somewhere to start contributing can be overwhelming for new contributors. It’s not clear what is currently being prioritized and it can be hard to get an idea of overall direction/goals

Proposal

We should highlight our projects page on GitHub. Projects provide better entry points for getting involved in current development priorities.
