Filip Maj commented on CB-12710:
--------------------------------

This should be definitely maintained, although we should look at where the 
state of built-in platform support is at.

Transitioning this API would be a challenge, I think. This plugin covers a 
bunch of different kinds of functionality under its umbrella:

 - taking a picture with the camera
 - choosing a picture from a gallery/picture store application
 - recording a video

The relevant W3C specs to those kinds of features include:

 - The one you referenced, Simon, the media capture image spec: 
https://www.w3.org/TR/image-capture/
 - Note that the above spec relies on objects ({{MediaStream}} in particular) 
provided by the media capture and streams spec: 
https://www.w3.org/TR/mediacapture-streams/
 - There is a separate spec, also based on {{MediaStream}}, that provides a 
"simple" API for recording streams (both audio and video): 
https://www.w3.org/TR/mediastream-recording/
 - Finally, there is also an addition of recording streams of media (audio, 
video, image) via HTML elements: https://www.w3.org/TR/mediacapture-fromelement/

Sorting through all of that, to me, is a big task, but a necessary one if we 
want cordova device APIs to remain spec-relevant.
