I've missed most of this discussion, but I wanted to make a few quick points:
* `pluginstall` (the tool I developed, that is used by PhoneGap Build) is a tool for installing plugins. Per the Unix philosophy, it doesn't and won't do anything other than that. * There may well be a need and a demand for a tool that grabs plugins from git repositories, uninstalls plugins, generates starter plugins, etc. But that's not pluginstall, and I think that tool should probably be named something else. It looks like Mike has made a start on that with his cordova-pluginrepo repository, which is awesome. * The problems that need to be solved by pluginstall are of the form "I can't install plugin x with pluginstall", or "I can't write a plugin that does x that can be installed by pluginstall." The only way to find those problems is to try writing those plugins. The PGB team is moving forward on a few, and we've worked with some other companies who have helped us see where pluginstall was lacking (adding multiple children to an Android intent-filter, installing a dylib into an iOS project). * node-xcode is a separate project, and will be useful for any plugin tools written with node. It would probably be better for everyone's sanity if there was a single version of that parser. I've been pretty slack about merging changes, so I'll get up to speed on that. * If other tools want to interoperate with pluginstall, they should follow the plugin spec here: https://github.com/alunny/cordova-plugin-spec That's a working document and is open to changes. Again, my preference is for changes of the form "I can't write a plugin that does X in this format" rather than "this element has a slightly misleading name; how about this name?". The GitHub issues for that repo is the best place to discuss changes to that spec.
