Thanks, Michael for the detailed information. On a related note, who owns 
http://ci.cordova.io/ ? 

It seems to be running an old/stale version of medic + BuildBot. There is a 
newer version now hosted on Apache Infra but it's got a long url : 
http://ci.apache.org/waterfall?builder=cordova-ios&builder=cordova-android-osx&builder=cordova-windows&builder=cordova-wp8&builder=cordova-android-win&builder=cordova-blackberry-osx&builder=cordova-blackberry-win

Wonder if there is a way for ci.cordova.io to point to the above version 
instead? 

Thanks,
Nikhil

Hi Dmitry,

I own and pay for the cordova.io domain. When it comes to domains, the general 
rules within Apache are:

1. cordova.io URLs that point to official Apache resources (e.g.
cordova.apache.org) must redirect to the official URL and not mask it. This 
ensures that the project is recognized as an official Apache project. We do 
this for cordova.io, docs.cordova.io, and issues.cordova.io

2. Apache prefers to not have the word "apache" in the third-party domain 
because ownership can be deceiving. cordova.io is okay. apachecordova.io is 
misleading.

For those interested, I'll describe some of the history of cordova.io.
During the donation of PhoneGap to Apache, I registered the cordova.io domain. 
In my naivety, I thought we could use it as the official Apache Cordova domain 
(CNAME style like Github Page). However, after talking with our Apache mentor, 
I learned what I stated above (redirect and make it clear that the domain is 
not apache property). Regardless, I decided to keep the domain around because 
it's shorter, verbally easier to spread by word-of-mouth (e.g. 
docs.cordova.io), and cleaner for presentation slide decks.

The entire Adobe team has access to the DNS management of the domain. If anyone 
else on the Apache Cordova project would like to add a subdomain, I'm all for 
it! Likewise, if you want a subdomain removed, let's talk about i!

Cheers,
Michael
