Roadmap to v1.0.0: Documentation, Showcases, and Coding Agent Readiness

[maehr]

Describe what feature you'd like. Pseudo-code, mockups, or screenshots of similar solutions are encouraged!

This issue outlines the final steps and improvements needed to prepare for the official v1.0.0 release. The main focus is on making the documentation as comprehensive and user-friendly as possible, integrating existing showcases, and preparing for future integrations.

Documentation Enhancements

• Illustrate the Deployment Process: Create a visual guide for the deployment process using mermaid.js. This will show the workflow from using the template to publishing the documentation on GitHub Pages.

• Improve CHANGELOG.md based on https://github.com/maehr/open-research-data-template/issues/36

• Integrate Real-World Showcases: Instead of creating a new example from scratch, we can integrate the existing showcases from the "One Template to Rule Them All" presentation. This will provide powerful, real-world examples of the template in action.

• Review the Project Setup Checklist: Review the setup checklist in the README.md to ensure all steps are current and explore if any parts of the checklist can be automated to simplify the user setup.

General Improvements

• Update the Roadmap: The roadmap should be updated to reflect the goals for the v1.0.0 release and beyond. A key goal is to make this repository GitHub Coding Agent ready, enabling users to automate tasks and workflows directly within the repository.

• Final Review: A thorough review of all documentation files (CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md, etc.) to check for consistency, typos, and outdated information.

Once these points are addressed, the repository will be in an excellent state for the v1.0.0 release.
