So Anis and I were thinking of, at the minimum, doing a 10-15 min overview of the tools we each work on (cordova-cli and plugman) and then fielding questions.
We can also bring up main points for and against considering an app being a plugin and see where that gets us. I am thinking of setting up a doodle and posting it to the list, to see what day works best. Time-wise, since we are all spread out between west and east coast in north america, + europe, these types of calls are usually done early in the AM for PST (shudder), which ends up being end-of-day for Europeans and around lunch-time for east coast folk.
