Following instructions leads you between lesson-template and lesson-example, where is the README?

Sorry - edited the title of this issue to be less hysteric. Apologies for the initial trollish-ness.

The github importer link gets you the lesson-template repo. Then,
step 10, sends you over here, where you are informed that you should
have README file in your repo…

Step 10 from the README is 1:

Create and edit files as explained in Lesson Layout 2, Background
and Design 3, and the FAQ 4.

That suggests you should be creating and editing the files. In 2,
there's:

README.md: initially a copy of this repository's README file. It
should be overwritten…

which is wrong (probably just left over from when the template
included a README, which was missed in 3eaab25). I suggest updating
that entry to:

README.md: A short description of the lesson. Please include the
following blockquote to help people find these instructions…

Yup. That's exactly my issue, explained more clearly, and offering a solution. So useful. PR to follow.
