@ReneWerner87, after reviewing the objectives, here are some possible adjustments to standardize the README files across the examples:

1. Create a Standard README Template: Establish a consistent structure for all README.md files. A suggested template could include the following sections:

   # Example Name
   
   ## Introduction
   
   Brief description of what the example demonstrates.
   
   ## Prerequisites
   
   List any tools, libraries, or dependencies required.
   
   ## Installation
   
   Steps to install any dependencies and set up the environment.
   
   ## Usage
   
   Instructions on how to run and use the example.
   
   ## Code Explanation
   
   Overview of the main components and how the code works.
   
   ## Contributing
   
   Guidelines for contributing to the example or repository.
   
   ## License
   
   Information about the license.

2. Audit Existing READMEs: Go through each example's README.md and compare them with the standard template to identify deviations.

3. Update READMEs: Modify the READMEs that deviate by reorganizing content, adding missing sections, or adjusting headings to match the standard structure.

4. Consistent Formatting: Ensure all README files use consistent markdown syntax, heading levels, and styling.

5. Include Examples of Usage: Where appropriate, add code snippets or examples to illustrate how to use the example.

By implementing these adjustments, the repository's examples will have a unified structure, improving readability and consistency.

@ReneWerner87, thank you for the additional input. Considering the tasks outlined in the CONTRIBUTING.md, here are further adjustments to standardize the examples and incorporate contribution guidelines:

1. Include a Contributing Section in the README Template:

   • Add a "Contributing" Section: In the standard README.md template, include a section titled Contributing that provides a brief overview of how to contribute to the example or repository.
   • Reference the CONTRIBUTING.md: Within this section, include a link to the CONTRIBUTING.md file for detailed guidelines and tasks.

     ## Contributing
     
     Contributions are welcome! Please see [CONTRIBUTING.md](link_to_CONTRIBUTING.md) for guidelines.

   • Highlight Specific Tasks: Mention any specific tasks or requirements from the CONTRIBUTING.md that are relevant to the example.

2. Ensure Consistency with CONTRIBUTING.md Tasks:

   • Align README Content with Contribution Tasks: Review each example's README.md to ensure that it aligns with the tasks and guidelines specified in the CONTRIBUTING.md.
   • Update Examples Accordingly: If certain examples require additional steps based on the contribution tasks, update their READMEs to reflect these.

3. Standardize the CONTRIBUTING.md File:

   • Review and Update Tasks: Ensure that the tasks listed in the CONTRIBUTING.md are up-to-date and applicable to all examples.
   • Clarify Contribution Process: Provide clear instructions on how to set up the development environment, coding standards, and the process for submitting pull requests.

4. Mention the Contribution Guidelines:

   • Emphasize Community Engagement: In the introduction or conclusion of the README.md, encourage users to contribute and participate in the community.
   • Provide Contact Information: Offer ways for contributors to reach out for help or to discuss potential contributions.

By integrating the CONTRIBUTING.md guidelines into each example's README.md, we foster a cohesive and welcoming environment for contributors. This not only standardizes the examples but also enhances collaboration and ensures that all contributions align with the project's standards.

Feel free to let me know if there are specific tasks from the CONTRIBUTING.md you'd like to highlight or any other adjustments you'd recommend.
