Mike Billau updated CB-5122:


Description: 
Based on the recent discussion here [1], we should document the two different 
supported Cordova workflows: using the CLI, and using plugman and bin scripts.  

Some of this documentation already exists but needs to be clarified and 
improved:

{{Overview guide -- Development Paths section}}[2]. This talks about getting 
started with the CLI and then mentions that you can switch to the 
platform-specific SDK tools. This section should be rewritten to make it clear 
that there are two distinct workflows, and that both are okay and supported. It 
could list out some pros and cons of each workflow (I'm sure we won't have any 
trouble finding those ;)). It should be prescriptive in that users should be 
following one of the two workflows, but it shouldn't make any statements about 
which is better.  

{{The Command-line Interface guide}} -- The CLI workflow guide. It 
generally looks complete except for some missing functionality that is 
documented in the CLI's README.md file (tests, hooks, some commands (serve), 
some merges info).

{{Platform Guides -- (Platform) -- (Platform) Command-line tools}} -- Each 
platform has a Command-line tools doc that explains all of the command line 
tools for that project and how to use them. We need to go through these guides 
and verify that they are up to date and include all of the lower level command 
line tools and scripts. It should read like a tutorial in the same way that the 
Command-line Interface guide does. 

{{Using Plugman to Manage Plugins}} [3] First, this guide needs to get 
exposed; I can't find any way to get to this guide from the docs and even had 
to ask a user how she managed to find it (a link from Plugman's readme!). This 
guide needs to be expanded quite a bit; we can probably fold most/all of 
Plugman's README.md file into this guide since it will be platform agnostic. 

I think those are the only pieces in the docs that need to be changed.
