Re: [RFC V2] EDK2 Platform Proposal

[Sakar Arora <sakar.arora@nxp.com>]

Hi,

A few questions here.

What is the proposed directory structure for the edk2-patforms branches? 
Will it be the same as in https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/tree/minnowboard-max-udk2015, which is just the same as edk2?
Or, will it be the similar to platform specific part of the directory structure proposed in https://github.com/mdkinney/edk2/tree/NewDirStruct_V3 ?
Or, similar to https://git.linaro.org/uefi/OpenPlatformPkg.git/tree?
Or, left to platform developers' discretion?

Thanks,
Sakar

[Bhupesh] This link seems broken. I get a 404 error while trying to acess this branch. Does it require some special privileges.
