Hey Filip, Brian: I think where I'd like to start is on documentation. I may be wrong about this, but it seems like there are bits and pieces of docs in various places, and some may be stale or irrelevant. Maybe a good start is for me to find all these pieces, consolidate into a "master" document, and cull out the outdated bits? As a start, here's my rephrasing of the various links, etc that you've sent to me. Please take a look and let me know if I've characterised the content/purpose of these various links:
*The spec for how plugins are declared is here: https://github.com/alunny/cordova-plugin-spec The implementation that manages plugin usage is here: https://github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-labs/tree/cordova-client This project encompasses more than just plugins because it also handles everything related to building, deploying, and managing cordova applications These plugins are most popular, and should ideally work with the cordova-client implemenation: http://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins* * * This implementation by Drew was an initial proof of concept, which only works for blackberry and has been abandoned in favor of cordova-client, with much of his ideas having made it into cordova-client: https://github.com/deedubbu/cordova-blackberry-pluggable This doc contains some info on the format of the command line interface and directory structure of cordova-client: http://wiki.apache.org/cordova/CommandLineToolingDesign This doc contains some documentation on Drew's old implementation, and is out of date now: http://wiki.apache.org/cordova/PluginDesign I want to emphasize that I'm just trying to get a handle on what docs are relevant and which links contain what. I'm not judging anyone's work or anything like that. :) If I've got the wrong idea about what these links represent or contain, _please_ let me know. -Mike * * * * * * On Sat, Aug 25, 2012 at 7:12 PM, Filip Maj <f...@adobe.com> wrote: > The cordova client CLI tooling top-level project goes hand-in-hand with > this spec.
