If it *only* uses Cordova then that might make sense. But from a quick scan of the documentation it would appear that it supports other frameworks too. From a community development point of view putting it into Cordova limits the potential audience significantly. I'd therefore suggest thinking carefully about where the right home is. Dropping it into Cordova will make creation of the project a little simpler (although the legal sign-off will still need to be done and in most large companies that is the hardest part). However, as I said, dropping it into Cordova is likely to limit opportunities for community development. > As for the statement "the entire company is focused on our BB10 delivery", it > was meant only to highlight that moving Ripple to Apache may take a bit > longer to do as a result, not that there was any less commitment to Ripple > from our site.
