Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request updates the documentation for requesting data access, shifting from a manual, form-based approach to a more integrated system managed by REMS. The changes aim to provide clearer, more current instructions for users seeking access to data, outlining the steps from browsing projects to application submission and review.

Highlights

• Data Access Process Update: The guide for requesting data access has been significantly revised to reflect a new, streamlined application process.
• Introduction of REMS: The Resource Entitlement Management System (REMS) is now explicitly mentioned as the platform managing all data access applications.
• Content Modernization: Outdated direct links to specific project pages, Google Forms, and illustrative images have been removed, replaced with general browsing and exploration links.
• Clarified Review Workflow: The post-submission process, including registration, form completion, review by the AGDR team and kaitiaki, and potential outcomes, has been detailed.

Code Review

This pull request updates the documentation for requesting data access. The changes replace outdated instructions that pointed to specific projects and a Google Form with a more general process involving a discovery/exploration page and a new Resource Entitlement Management System (REMS). My review focuses on improving the clarity and correctness of the new instructions. I've pointed out some issues with broken/misleading links, typos, and inconsistencies in the new text, and suggested fixes to make the documentation easier for users to follow.
