First of a planned series. This one is purely structural — every existing entry is preserved verbatim, no links added or removed apart from an SDV pointer and one related list.

Why

The Datasets, Libraries and Papers sections were nested as ### under ## Important techniques, so they rendered as sub-parts of it instead of top-level sections. That's the main fix.

While in there, the editorial policy was stated twice — once inside the Libraries section, once inside Papers — so it only applied where it happened to be written. It's now hoisted to the top as the list's contract.

Changes

  • ResourcesScope and inclusion criteria, with the policy pulled up and made explicit per resource type.
  • Out-of-scope note pointing tabular/statistical synthetic data at SDV. The GitHub synthetic-data-generation topic is dominated by that world, so readers land here by mistake.
  • New Start here section: a 5-step path for newcomers, built entirely from entries already in the list.
  • Important techniques + Examples in this repository merged into one Techniques section for runnable in-repo material.
  • Datasets / Libraries / Papers promoted #####.
  • New Related lists section.

Deliberately not in this PR

  • Dates on entries. Would need ~30 dates verified; wrong dates are worse than none. Follow-up.
  • Caps per section. Left as prose without numbers so limits can be added later as a one-line edit.
  • Any wording change to existing entries, including the "isn't compressive" typo in the Libraries intro.

Follow-ups this surfaced

  • The Libraries and Papers section intros now duplicate the new Scope section and could probably both be deleted.
  • Start here step 3 offers "distilabel or NeMo Data Designer" — worth revisiting.

The Datasets, Libraries and Papers sections were nested as `###` under
"Important techniques", so they rendered as sub-parts of it rather than
as top-level sections. Promote them to `##`.

Other structural changes, no content edits:

- Rename "Resources" to "Scope and inclusion criteria" and pull the
  editorial policy up from where it was buried inside the Libraries and
  Papers sections, so it applies to the whole list.
- Note that tabular/statistical synthetic data is out of scope and point
  at SDV, since that is where a lot of search traffic lands.
- Add a "Start here" path for newcomers, using entries already listed.
- Merge "Important techniques" and "Examples in this repository" into a
  single "Techniques" section for runnable in-repo material.
- Add "Related lists".

Every existing entry is preserved verbatim. No links added or removed
apart from the SDV pointer and the one related list.
