Description

Supersedes https://github.com/theupdateframework/python-tuf/issues/1006

Description of issue or feature request:
#1790 removes QUICKSTART.md because it is severely outdated. The new client and repo examples should be a good replacement to quickly get users familiar with python-tuf and are also easy to discover (e.g. via main README and main menu on RTD).

Still, there might be merit in better framing these examples or adding additional examples as a "quick start"-documentation (note: this is also a silver criteria for the cii badgeapp).

Current behavior:

  • no explicit "quick start" documentation

Expected behavior:

  • consider adding quick start documentation or better frame existing documentation

Research direction

Review the client and repository examples under examples/, then trace how they are linked from README.md and docs/index.rst after QUICKSTART.md was removed by #1790. Compare the existing material with the requested quick-start goal and the CII badge criterion; the work is done when the documentation approach and required framing or additions are clearly defined and implemented.
