Dear all, I have drafted my GSoC proposal and uploaded it to Google Docs. You can leave suggestions as comments in the document. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SktYJUou7MtPIhnATjVoM63HDKIkZcBRRKtcO0pVpCs/edit?usp=sharing
I'm a bit unclear about how to break down the edk2 porting into discrete tasks, so your suggestion on that would help me a lot. Please have a look at it and let me know what you think. I apologize for not giving you much time for this review.
