@microsoft-github-policy-service agree
I prefer to keep file names consistent in style, using all uppercase, like README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md
Agree with the need to set up more robust docs for this project. While the API is simple enough, there are many dependencies that sometimes need to be set up, and there are many optional arguments to some converters.
In this new year, I would like to discuss @jackgerrits how best to set up docs. We'll get back to you on this.
(Also, we may not be able to move SECURITY.md, etc. as they are part of the Microsoft template, and might be depended upon by various internal tools etc.)

Thanks for highlighting the importance of maintaining consistent styles with all-uppercase file names. I’m still learning about best practices and was curious if this style might pose any challenges for accessibility or readability, such as with screen readers or visual clarity. Do you think it’s something worth considering?

Got it, Thank you
