The URL would be: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/#code-contributions Hmmm... Actually, "Readme.md" already reachable from the website. At the bottom of the subject page, we have "Code Contributions", which points to https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Code-Contributions and that one references https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/Readme.md which is the same Readme.md document I just recommended. OK then. :) Thanks Laszlo > diff --git a/ovmf/index.md b/ovmf/index.md > index 843ad71..97c0cf3 100644 > --- a/ovmf/index.md > +++ b/ovmf/index.md > @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ OVMF is an [EDK II] based project to enable UEFI support for Virtual > Machines.
