I don't think it's good to be prescriptive about what a platform is - code and tests (based around that list of things @brian mentioned plus the plugin API) should determine what a platform is. If someone wants to contribute code and tests to create a platform they should be able to do so. There

Think its still good to make this distinction even though our scope is going to drastically reduce (in a sense). The benefit of these labels is to indicate how much involvement developers using Cordova can expect the Cordova platform to maintain. Core platforms target an operating system, with

+1 for bada removal from core platforms. Samsung is not even working on it anymore. We're focused on Tizen is what their marketing people told me last time I asked them about it. I think we should ship only platforms that matter (i.e platforms that appear on Analyst's market share numbers) and

Its certainly up for debate, while webOS still is out there it is not shipping on any devices, nor has it for a couple of years. However, we are seeing an interesting trend towards web operating systems: chrome, windows, firefox, and tizen. This puts webOS in some good company and given the trend

Yeah, there is a bit of work happening in Open webOS right now... We've got ports to the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 hardware that are actively being worked on by the community, and we've also got some x86 hardware working with the webOS runtime environment being hosted on Ubuntu and then there's

What does schedule for removal mean? Perhaps we can tie removal to some specific metric that we might be able to assist with? BB7 will remain a fairly large base of devices for a while, particularly in emerging markets and enterprise, where I think we will continue to see a large focus on

Certainly, if RIM can provide some % numbers of people using each OS, that'd be helpful! Kind of like the Android OS pie chart breakdown of users across different OS versions. In the past, at some point we decided to stop supporting BB OS 5 and 4.6, and removed those Cordova implementations. Just
