Thank you for these links!
Please find below some thoughts... maybe they can help you make the
documentation and user experience for dummies like me even better :)
In hindsight "npm install cordova-android" seems obvious, but I would
not have guessed it. Especially because I want to be

If you want cordova-android, you can download it from github[1], npm[2] or
apache dist[3].
We need to add links to npm + dist on the website. Any thoughts where we
should add them? Maybe we should add a download section.
[1] https://github.com/apache/cordova-android
[2]
We do have “npm install -g cordova” on the front page, but I guess there is no
clear link to https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/cordova/ anywhere. I
really like that link and I think it would be great to have it easily
accessible. I’m leaning toward the header (a bit loud) or the footer
I'd say footer as most of our users aren't going to use dist.
I think it is worth adding the npm links for all of our repos at
http://cordova.apache.org/contribute/ beside the github and apache git repo
links.

Sure. But for the example above, where someone wants cordova-android
(especially with the new platform API), we are going to see more people
wanting to require('cordova-android'). We should atleast provide links to
our official download distributions on our site. If not on the
contributions page,
Footer sounds good to me.
I’m not a fan of adding NPM links for two reasons though:
1). Not every repo should be installed manually via NPM
2). The information on the NPM page is already shown on GitHub
Kindly,
Dmitry

Hi,
The cordova documentation refers multiple time to "download from
cordova.apache.org"
e.g.
http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/tools.html
"To enable shell tools for Android, download Cordova from
cordova.apache.org. The download contains separate archives for
What is plugman? :-]
+1 apache dist link not on header, put it on footer
+1 updating "Contribute Page"
- add npm icon (link) to applicable components
- add bug icon (JIRA link) directly takes to see open issues for that
specific component, github repo's readme already have this info on how to
