I mentioned before that Michal, Braden and I were going to try and write
plugins to get Chrome packaged apps running withing Cordova. Just wanted to
share that we have the first basic steps of this working! :)

We still have a tonne of APIs to implement, but now have the basic
bootstrapping mechanism working. The packaged app's background page is
implemented using a hidden iframe, and when the background page calls
chrome.app.window.create(), we re-write the parent window.

It works for a couple of the chrome
chrome-app-samples<https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-app-samples>that
don't use any extra APIs. The Calculator and the Weather app in
particular are functional within Cordova using our shim.

If you're interested, you can see our progress here:

So yeah, early stages, but thought I'd share :)
