Hi, Andrew Thanks for the info. I have a github account and will create new repo there. Once I am ready, I will let you guys know for review. How about existing repos like cordova-cli, cordova-plugman, cordova-docs and cordova-plugins? How do I create review-requests for those?
Most of the plugins, I am going to add amazon as a platform but point the src to android one. So it is possible to install the plug-in written for android onto Fire OS. Some of the plugins like InAppBrowser etc..., we have made changes to use chromium-based web app runtime. Those will have their src point to amazon one. So they will perform better on KindleFire tablets.
