Create a Guide/Template: Readme for your project

### Overview
We need to create a guide to making the Readme file of every project. This file should have the information people may need before they start contributing to the project. Typically for a software project that would be an overview, goals, development process, technology, etc.

### Action Items
The phases in the guide-making process are listed below. Each phase displayed in blue is linked to a wiki page with instructions on how to complete that phase. Open the wiki page in a new tab, copy the instructions for each part into the section labeled 'Tasks' at the bottom of this issue, and complete each task listed.
