This PR adds a short "Quick Start for New Contributors" section to the README
to clarify workspace setup and common development commands.
No code changes are included.

Added quick start guide for new contributors with prerequisites and initial setup instructions.

Hi @SanjanaS10 I am interested to know what you would like to contribute to Biovault, maybe we can have a chat on slack?

Hi @madhavajay ,

I’m still a beginner and fairly new to Biovault and OpenMined, so my main goal right now is to learn the codebase and understand the project better. While setting things up, I found the initial onboarding a bit challenging, which is why I thought improving the quick start guide could help other new contributors like me.

As of now, I’m mostly interested in:

  • Documentation and onboarding improvements
  • Beginner-friendly issues that help me get familiar with the workflow
  • Small tasks in Python/Rust where I can learn while contributing

I’ll join the #community-biovault Slack channel soon. Looking forward to learning more and getting your guidance on how I can contribute.

Thank you
Sanjana
