+## Goodbye PhoneGap
+
+[Adobe] recently [announced][AdobeBlogUpdate] that [PhoneGap] is shutting
down. How is Cordova affected? In short: not much.
+
+**Rest assured, Apache Cordova is still active and maintained!**
+
+We want to take this opportunity to thank Adobe and the PhoneGap team for all
the blood, sweat, and tears they have put forward into designing and building
these tools, services, and community. Without them, hybrid mobile apps would
not be the same.
+
+Today, we are in the fortunate position that Cordova is an Open Source
Software, which is entirely maintained by the community. PhoneGap originally
started as an open-source project by Nitobi Software in 2008. Nitobi Software
was acquired by Adobe in 2011 and shortly after donated PhoneGap to the [Apache
Software Foundation] (ASF) as Cordova. Apache Cordova, which was a core tool of
Adobe PhoneGap and PhoneGap Build for the past nine years, will continue to
thrive as long as the health of the community remains strong and contributions
are made. If you use, have used, or looking to start using Cordova, also
consider contributing and taking part in this awesome community to help it grow.

I guess I just read it wrong. I think I get how the sentence is meant to
be read now. Sorry for the bother.
