Description

The README is comprehensive and helpful, and could be even better served if at the top of the README there was a row of all the major header (perhaps even linked to jump the the part of the page it references), and a description of aforementioned headers so that users could more easily navigate it, especially for newcomers.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by opening the repository README and review its existing major headers and structure. Add a linked row of those headers near the top with brief descriptions, then verify that each link jumps to the intended section and that the README remains readable for newcomers.
