## The brief

GitHub now makes repository accessibility statements easier to find from the overview page when maintainers place ACCESSIBILITY.md in the root, .github, or docs directory. Public repositories also let contributors add or propose a statement through Community Standards. The change is available across GitHub.com plans; GitHub says Enterprise Server support will arrive in version 3.24.
