Add script to clean and combine data, and add data

- Update survey data dictionary with left out questions
- Update survey data dictionary with variable/column names for questions
- Add script `clean-data.R` to clean and combine the two survey datasets into
  one for ease of analysis
- Create the combined survey dataset after running `clean-data.R`
- Create README.md file to explain cleaned data and the script to produce it
- Update root README.md file to briefly explain data
- Change `data/` directory to `raw-data/`

 ## About the Data
 
-The survey results are located in the [`data/`](data/) directory, in .csv format.
+The raw survey results are located in the [`raw-data/`](raw-data/) directory, in `.csv` format.

+# Cleaning and Combine Free Code Camp Survey Data
+
+## Introduction
+
+The survey data was broken up into two parts and need to be combined into one
+for ease of future downstream analyses. Additionally, these two data sets need
+to be cleaned up a bit because of the nature of survey data.
+
+## Notable Data Transformations
+
+### Obvious Outliers
+
+In some of the numeric free text answers, numeric values were filtered out if it
+was beyond a reasonable threshold. For example, an answer saying you've coded
+for 100,000 months would be removed.
+
+### Numeric Ranges
+
+Some answers were given as ranges. For example, a range of "9-10" months of
+programming might have been answer to a question. The average of this range was
+taken when possible.
+
+### Years to Months
+
+Some answers to a question asking about months were given in years. These were
+converted to months if possible.
+
+### Normalization of Answers
+
+Some of the free text answers were very similar to each other, with the
+exception of a space or two. These will register as different answers if you
+aren't looking for them. Answers like "Cybersecurity" and "Cyber Security" are
+the same and were changed to a consistent manner. There may have been some
+missed.

+## Reproduce Cleaning and Combining of Data
+
+Running the following script will create a new file
+`2016-New-Coders-Survey.csv` file in this directory `clean-data/`.
+
+```shell
+git clone https://github.com/FreeCodeCamp/2016-new-coder-survey.git
+cd clean-data
+Rscript clean-data.R
+```
+
+
+## Cleaning Pipeline
+
+1. Rename column names
+2. Clean free text fields for appropriate question
