I think, the windows phone 8 codebase is a good point to start porting
because most of this will be reusable. I think I will start at the end
of December or in the begining of January if I had enough time for this.

Nothing close, but if you wanted to work on it, I could help you
along. I have done similar explorations.
Essentially, the code becomes closer to the Windows Phone 8
implementation this way ...
Also, Microsoft is committed to making phonegap apps work well in the
windows8 store, so they are aware of issues, like the no UI component
limitations, and will probably address them at some point. No word on
when though.

Hi Jesse,
yes this was a way I tried a few month ago and it works with a
Windows Runtime Component written in C++/CX (a simple hello world
thing, call async from JS).
But you will be very limited in Windows Runtime Components,
particular in creating XAML UI components. This is not
allowed/available:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/bd764f1e-887f-49b5-beb6-848cea93fb44/lauch-xaml-ui-from-c-runtime-component-in-html5javascipt-ws-app?forum=winappswithhtml5
So the only way (if I understand this correctly) is to port the
WinJS project over to a XAML C# or C++/CX project. To get this
working.
Is there a near or far plan on doing this? Maybe as a separate
platform in the cordova-windows repo named "windows8xaml".
I will need this for our APP project, I will do the porting my
self when there is no work done yet and hopefully get this running :-)

Windows 8 apps *will* be able to include plugins authored in
other languages, but it is not yet supported.
For now, you can create/add a new portable-library project to
your solution, and access it from async javascript.
More details here:

Unfortunately, you will have to set this up yourself, and plugins
authored this way are not yet distributable/installable with
plugman/cordova-cli.

Hi,

XAML C# or C++ implementation?
AFAIK if I am correct this is the only way to fully support
native XAML C#/C++ plugins on Windows 8 and Windows 8 RT
store APPs.

Hi,
we are very interested in phonegap/cordova and we
like the concept of HTML5/JS/CSS + native plugin APPs.
We have created a proof of concept to embed a OpenGL
Render Engine into a the Html-Views (not WebGL).
The native plugin which renders on a native view is
running on iOS and Android very well.
Now we whant to go a bit further and whant to bring
this technic to Windows 8 (RT) platform to support
the Windows 8 Desktop and the Windows RT Tablets.
For this we would like to try to get a DirectX Engine
running as a native plugin. But here comes the hurdle:
Cordova-windows-8 is build on top of the Windows
HTML/JS/CSS stack not as a XAML APP. We were able to
build a Windows Runtime Component DLL in C++ but
there we are not able to access the XAML GUI to
create a view as the DirectX Rendering Context.
So are there any plans to port the cordova-windows-8
over to a XAML APP like the cordova-windows-phone8?
