There was a question last report about whether it made sense to send our slack

of slack entirely, which has already started to happen. Github discussion also carry a

## Status report for the Apache Cordova project - December 2022

## Description:
 - A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and

## Activity
Current work continues to be keeping up with recent changes to iOS and
Android, our most used platforms, and updating plugins.

- We have updated our community plugin search page to make it more manageable
  as it was depending on a 3rd party api which was shut down.
- We now have github discussions enabled. *(Thanks INFRA!)*

## Health report:

We continue to see contributions from a small group of dedicated individuals.
Things remain stable and the project continues to see good traffic.

Our primary channel for helping, and hearing from users is via our #slack
community, which has ~4k users and continues to be fairly active.  We have
begun transitioning conversations to github discussions.

## Questions from last report

> cd: You say, the primary channel for helping is the cordova slack.
> As there is no #cordova in the ASF slack, I assume it's an
> external one. Is there any form of archive of old questions and
> searchability? Or is this used entirely for support and not for
> discussions about the project itself?

We have our own slack community that is used exclusively to support developers
and allow developers to help eachother. This is a hold-over from the days when
Adobe/PhoneGap were active in the project, Adobe used to pay for #slack bill.
We have since moved to the free-tier which is quite limiting. The PMC has a
private channel but it is really only used for near realtime discussion and
any decisions are taken to the mailing list before being finalized.

Searchability is not great within #slack as is, and in the free tier we can
only search back as far as 10k messages across all channels.  In order to keep
historical conversations we have a daily digest service (github action) to
copy all public conversations to a github repo in markdown.

The digest can be found here:
https://github.com/apache/cordova/tree/master/slack-digest

That said, the pmc does realize that the slack funnel is very limiting and we
have enabled **github discussions** This seems to be a better forum for
technical discussions as it happens closer to the code.

Our discussion area is live in the same repo at
https://github.com/apache/cordova/discussions

## Status report for the Apache Cordova project - September 2021

## Description:
 - A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and
   JavaScript.

## Activity
Current work has been around keeping up with recent changes to iOS and
Android, our most used platforms, and updating plugins. We continue to work
towards reducing technical debt, and 'running the business' We are in the
process of archiving older documentation and translations which were very out
of date.

## Issues:
  - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Health report:

Our status dashboard at http://status.cordova.io remain mostly all green -
failures are usually due to external service issues that do device testing.
Our nightly builds have been extremely stable.

ASF Project Statistics gives the project a Community Health Score (Chi): 9.6 (
Super Healthy )

We continue to see contributions from a small group of dedicated individuals.
That said, things remain stable and the project continues to see good traffic.

The cordova-cli, the base tool used for creating/building/running gets 125k
downloads a week on npm, and has been consistent for the last year.  Various
core plugins see usage in the 50-80k/wk range.

Our primary channel for helping, and hearing from users is via our #slack
community, which has ~4k users and continues to be fairly active.

## Membership Data:
There are currently 103 committers and 100 PMC members in this project. The
Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 1:1.

We continue to see contributions from a small group of dedicated individuals.
I believe the global pandemic has had an effect also as without any large
corporate sponsored development it can be hard to find personal time.  That
said, things remain stable and the project continues to see good traffic.

The cordova-cli, the base tool used for creating/building/running gets 125k

Our primary channel for helping, and hearing from users is via our #slack
community, which has ~4k users and continues to be fairly active. We will be
seeking to enable github discussions in one or more repos to see if this is a
better way to engage with the community. I am hopeful that we can resume our
video hangouts soon.

## Status report for the Apache Cordova project - March 2021

## Description:
 - A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and
   JavaScript.

## Activity
Recent work has been around keeping up with recent changes to iOS and Android,
our most used platforms.  We continue to work towards reducing technical debt,
and 'running the business' We are finalizing a list of test devices to be used
by active committers, and the possibility of either MacInTheCloud, or Amazon
EC2 Mac Instances so we can support Apple's M1 hardware.

## Issues:
  - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Health report:

Our status dashboard at http://status.cordova.io is mostly all green -
failures are usually due to external service issues that do device testing.
Our nightly builds have been extremely stable.

(Healthy)

We are still only seeing contributions from a small group of dedicated
individuals. This makes it harder to make large changes. All the large
corporate sponsored development has ceased, but the project continues to see
good traffic, and usage has been stable.

The cordova-cli, the base tool used for creating/building/running gets 125k
downloads a week on npm, and has been consistent for the last year.  Various
core plugins see usage in the 50-80k/wk range.

community, which has ~4k users and continues to be fairly active.  There has
been some interest in also exploring github discussions.

## Status report for the Apache Cordova project - September 2020

## Description:
 - A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and
   JavaScript.

## Activity
Recent work has been around keeping up with recent changes to iOS and Android,
our most used platforms.  We are also working towards reducing some of our
technical debt, we have discussed narrowing our platform support by removing
some of the now outdated platforms we support so we can better serve our
community. We still have not made a decision how best to use last year's
generous donation.

## Issues:
  - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Health report:

Our status dashboard at http://status.cordova.io is mostly all green -
failures are usually due to external service issues that do device testing.
Our nightly builds have been extremely stable.

ASF Project Statistics gives the project a Community Health Score (Chi): 6.33
(Healthy) That said, we are only seeing contributions from a small group of
dedicated individuals, and a lot of work has been focused on reducing some of
the technical debt to keep the project managable with the limited time we
have.  All the large corporate sponsered development has ceased, but the
project continues to see good traffic, and usage has been stable.

The cordova-cli, the base tool used for creating/building/running gets 125k

Our primary channel for helping, and hearing from users is via our #slack
community, which has ~4k users and is fairly active.

The pmc has renewed interest in having online video hangouts, which we are
aiming to have every 2-3 weeks or more if possible.  Our time-zones are very
distrubuted, so we will likely distribute the timing as well.  All meetings
will be recorded and shared on YouTube, and we hope to get more and more
intrest from the community.

## Issues:

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

cordova-eslint is a new repo which consolidates linting standards which will
be applied across all our repos.

The project received a generous anonymous donation, which took us a while to
decide on an acceptable use of the funds.  We will be using the donation to
pay to have some documentation, information architecture and technical writing
done to update our documentation and author some getting started guides.

cordova-ios release includes prep work for removing the UIWebView
implementation ( deprecated by Apple ) We will move forward this quarter with
the migration from UIWebView to WKWebView for iOS.

A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and

## Issues:

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

cordova-electron@1.1.1 was the only platform release in this quarter.
cordova-android@8.1.0 is being voted on currently, and will be released
shortly. We will also be making some large changes to iOS as Apple has made it
clear that they may soon reject app submissions for apps using deprecated
APIs.  Discussions are happening currently so we can find the best solution
that does not break existing applications/plugins and meets Apple's
requirements.

## Description:
 - A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and
   JavaScript.

## Issues:
  - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

We had three platform patch releases of Android (fixes to gradle repositories
and plugin compatibility) and one platform patch release for Windows (fixes
bugs related to the last major version release). There was no iOS platform
release nor   any plugin releases.

There were two tool releases of the CLI (minor and patch release) to resolve
`npm audit` issues. This will be the last tool release before we move on to
Node 6 for the next major version.


## Health report:

Our status dashboard at http://status.cordova.io is mostly all green -
failures are usually due to external service issues that do device testing.
Our nightly builds have been extremely stable.

We are actively trying to resolve all existing issues in JIRA while also
maintaining all the new issues and pull requests in Github.

## Description:
 - A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and
   JavaScript.

## Issues:
  - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:
We had four platform releases this quarter. The releases were mainly bug fixes
and also fixes related to `npm audit` issues. `npm audit` checks the
dependency tree for your code and provides a security vulnerability report.

We had tool releases for cordova-common, cordova-js, and cordova-coho. The
releases relate to bug fixes and fixes related to `npm audit` issues. We also
upgraded support to `node-6` and greater, with our dropping of `node-4`
support.

We had our first committers meeting (over video call) of 2018 with all the new
committers to discuss project direction. Our last meeting face to face was in
Oct 2016 in Redmond, WA.

We shut down creation of new issues in Apache JIRA, and enabled `Github
Issues` in all 71 repositories that we have in Apache's Github org. We decided
not to migrate any existing open issues in JIRA to Github -- we will
investigate and triage those issues in JIRA and migrate issues on a case by
case basis. We established an org-level Github Project Board for us to have a
bird's eye view of all Cordova issues in all our numerous repos, for planning
purposes.

## Health report:
Our status dashboard at http://status.cordova.io is mostly all green -
failures are usually due to external service issues that do device testing.
Our nightly builds have been stable with occasional packaging failures.

We are actively trying to resolve all existing issues in JIRA while also
maintaining all the new issues in Github.

## Description:
 - A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and
   JavaScript.

## Issues:
  - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:
We had no platform releases this quarter. Regarding tools releases - we had
one for cordova-common and cordova-serve, mainly to fix small bugs and update
dependencies. We had also one plugins release, where we released new versions
for 10 plugins - which contained bug fixes.

With the deprecation of Node.js 4 support by the Node Foundation (see our
[blog
post](https://cordova.apache.org/news/2016/10/01/0.x-4.x-deprecation-timeline.html))
 we are proceeding with removing Node 4 support in all our tools and
 platforms, which will bump up all versions by a major version. This will
 bring ES6 and ES7 support into Cordova.

## Health report:
Our status dashboard at http://status.cordova.io is mostly all green.

We still have a backlog of GitHub Pull Request activity, again, same as last
quarter. We have started migrating from JIRA to Github Issues (starting with
cordova-docs) to perhaps take advantage of some automation available through
Github apps.

## Description:

 A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and
 JavaScript.

## Issues:

 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

We had four platform releases - two patch release for Browser (5.0.2, 5.0.3),
one minor release for Android (7.1.0) and one major release for Windows
(6.0.0) The Android and Browser releases were just small bug fixes. The
Windows release now suppoorts the latest version of visual studio and does
Windows 10 builds by default.

We had many plugins gets released. Many of the releases needed second releases
due to issues with installing from npm due to us forgetting to update some
fields.

Cordova-cli@8.0.0 was also released. This was accompanied by releases in other
tools that the CLI is composed of. We took the release of this major version
to drop deprecated code.

## Health report:

Our status dashboard at http://status.cordova.io is mostly all green.

We still have a huge backlog of GitHub Pull Request activity, again, same as
last quarter. Will keep chipping away.

## Description:

 A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and
JavaScript.

## Issues:

 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

We had eight platform releases - four patch release for iOS (4.5.1, 4.5.2,
4.5.3, 4.5.4), one patch release for Browser (5.0.1), two minor and one major
release for Android (6.3.0, 6.4.0, 7.0.0). The iOS and Browser releases were
just small bug fixes. The Android release now brings our Android project
structure to based of the Android Studio project structure.

We had many plugins gets released. Most notable is that we have deprecated
`cordova-plugin-file-transfer`, `cordova-plugin-globalization`,
`cordova-plugin-contacts` and `cordova-plugin-compat`. Due to
`cordova-plugin-compat` being deprecated, we removed it as a dependency for a
handful of plugins and gave them major version bumps.

Cordova-cli@7.1.0 was also released. This was accompanied by releases in other
tools that the CLI is composed of.

## Health report:

Our status dashboard at http://status.cordova.io is mostly all green.

We still have a huge backlog of GitHub Pull Request activity, again, same as
last quarter -- but it has improved. Infra has now moved over all of our git
repos to GitHub. This allows us to properly label pull requests. We also have
the ability to merge in pull requests via the website.

We are in the process of deprecating a few of our plugins which can be
replaced by official W3C specs which have been implemented in the browsers of
the platforms we support. We are also in the process of integrating a couple
of plugins back into platforms and deprecating the plugins. This will help
ease the maintenance load on the team.

@Mark: follow up re: handling security issues

20 Sep 2017 [Shazron Abdullah / Shane]

## Description:

 A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and
JavaScript.

## Issues:

 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

We had two platform releases - one minor release for iOS (4.5.0) and one major
release for Browser (5.0.0). The iOS release integrated the console plugin and
has updated some dependencies. The Browser release has implemented our
standard platform API and now includes basic support for progressive web apps.

We had a major release for our cordova serve tool (2.0.0) which now serves the
web content and launches the default browser on the system. We have also had a
minor release of our cordova-common library which adds the ability to include
variables in the framework tag.

## Health report:

Our status dashboard at http://status.cordova.io is mostly all green.

We have finished moving our plugin testing to AppVeyor and Travis CI. This is
the reason for all of the green badges on our status page!

We still have a huge backlog of GitHub Pull Request activity, again, same as
last quarter -- but it has improved. We now have direct access to GitHub for
platform repos. We are waiting for Infra to move over the rest of our repos to
GitBox. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-14994. Once all of our
repos are moved over, we plan on discussing the option of migrating our issues
from Jira to GitHub and what that would look like.

We are in the process of deprecating a few of our plugins which can be
replaced by official W3C specs which have been implemented in the browsers of
the platforms we support. We are also in the process of integrating a couple
of plugins back into platforms and deprecating the plugins. This will help
ease the maintenance load on the team.

Again, our goal for plugins release is to have one per week as a cadence, and
we have failed to do so again this quarter. We have done work on streamlining
this so it will improve in the future.

We have recently removed react from our plugins serach at
https://plugins.cordova.io. We replaced it with preact. We aren't using react
anywhere else.

We have attempted to contact Cocoon.io folks multiple times about using the
cordova trademark incorrectly. We haven't received a response yet. It appears
their top executives have left the company. The company may have folded.

## Description:

 A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

## Issues:

 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:
 There was one overall plugin release this quarter. An overall plugin release usually consists of all, if not most, of our 23 plugins. This number was one less than last quarter.

We had two platform releases - one minor plus three patch releases for Android (6.2.0, 6.2.1, 6.2.2, 6.2.3) and one minor release for iOS (4.4.0). Android releases were to fix two consecutive major breaks in Android tools releases (deprecation of certain Android SDK tools). The minor iOS release was to support Carthage, breakage while using Xcode 8.3.2, and also dynamic frameworks.

We had a major tools release of the CLI version 7.0.0 with support for custom platforms, increased package.json support, and dropping of support for older platform versions.

We had a new plugin release - cordova-plugin-screen-orientation 2.0.0, as well as a new developer tool release, cordova-coho 1.0.0.

## Health report:

Our status dashboard at http://status.cordova.io is mostly all green. Travis CI pull request times have been vastly improved versus last quarter due to INFRA enabling certain beta changes for Travis. Previously pull requests may have taken 24 hours but now it happens within 15 minutes.

Our plugin device testing has been put on hold since a major contributor has decided to not support the server we have been testing on, resulting in a lot of "broken" build status badges on the status page. To resolve this,  we are moving the testing to AppVeyor and Travis CI, and have filed an INFRA issue for help: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-14273

We still have a huge backlog of Github Pull Request activity, again, same as last quarter -- but it has improved. We would have liked to have direct access to Github to manage these issues better and we have requested Gitbox access but there hasn't been a response so far: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-14347

Again, our goal for plugins release is to have one per week as a cadence, and we have failed to do so again this quarter. We have done work on streamlining this so it will improve in the future.

## Description:

A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and
JavaScript.

## Issues:

There are no issues requiring Board attention at this time.

## Activity:

There were two overall plugin releases this quarter. An overall plugin
release usually consists of all, if not most, of our  22 plugins. This
number was the same as last quarter.

We had three platform releases - two patch releases for Android (6.1.1 and
6.1.2) and one major release for Windows (5.0.0). Android patch releases
were to fix a CI issue, and a security issue, respectively. The major
Windows release introduces a major change in resource-file behavior and adds
WinMD + C++ based DLL combination support for plugins. There was no iOS
platform release this quarter, with ongoing work to release version 4.4.0 in
the coming weeks.

We had a minor tools release of the CLI version 6.5.0 which updated Android
platform pinning, as well as including minor fixes. We are planning a major
release of the tools (version 7.0) in the coming months.

## Health report:

Our status dashboard at http://status.cordova.io is mostly all green. The
badges that are red are general flakiness and unreliability of the CI
environments that we use, which we are trying to track down. We are running
into roadblocks with using Apache's account on Travis CI, where pull
requests usually don't start until more than 24 hours later:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-13634 which slows down
evaluating contributions and iterative development.

We still have a huge backlog of Github Pull Request activity, same as last
quarter -- but it has improved. We would have liked to have direct access to
Github to manage these issues better, instead of the workaround we have now.
Our JIRA issue resolve rate has vastly improved as well.

Our goal for plugins release is to have one per week as a cadence, and we
have failed to do so again this quarter. We have done work on streamlining
this so it will improve in the future.

21 Dec 2016 [Shazron Abdullah / Isabel]

## Description:

A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and
JavaScript.

## Issues:

There are no issues requiring Board attention at this time.

## Activity:

The iOS platform had one minor and one patch release, and the Android
platform had a major and minor release,  while the Windows platform only had
one patch (bug fix) release.

The Android platform major release (6.0.0) includes full support for Android
7.0 Nougat (API 24) while Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) support was deprecated.

The iOS platform minor release (4.3.0) includes support for CocoaPods in
plugins, and also support for Xcode 8.

The Windows platform patch release (4.4.3) fixes some major issues with
application activation, splashscreen and VS project generation.

We also had one Tools (CLI 6.4.0 and supporting libraries) release that
deprecates node.js 0.x support (we will only support node.js 4.x and above
starting next year), and it also includes other new features to config.xml,
plus bug fixes.

There were two overall plugin releases this quarter. An overall plugin
release usually consists of all, if not most, of our 22 plugins.

## Health report:

Our status dashboard at http://status.cordova.io is mostly all green. The
badges that are red are known issues of the CI environment that we are
tracking in various JIRA issues.

We are actively trying to improve our testing -- we are trying to automate
more manual tests, and streamlining tests across the board since the number
of active contributors has dropped off. The drop off (as discussed in the
last report) is due to a large number of active contributors from a major
vendor being moved off the Apache Cordova project.

We still have a huge backlog of Github Pull Request activity. At last
estimate we had less than 150 pull requests in total, across our 60+ git
repos. We are actively trying to prune the PRs by closing out stale issues or
issues that cannot merge cleanly. It is harder to do so since we do not have
write access to Github to close or label PRs, due to Github's limited repo
access granularity. We can only clean up PRs using specially constructed
empty commit messages as suggested by INFRA, but there is no facility to
label PRs for organization.

Our goal for plugins release is to have one per week as a cadence, and we
have failed to do so again this quarter. We are working on streamlining this
so it will be easier for release managers to package releases.

## Description:

A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and
JavaScript.

## Issues:

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

The iOS and Android platforms had minor and patch releases while the Windows
platform only had patch (bug fix) releases.

Android released minor version 5.2.0 which removed auto-setting of the
versionCode in projects that was causing problems with generating APKs for
different versions of Android. iOS released minor version 4.2.0 which added
support for node.js version 6.x.

We didn't have a plugins release this quarter.

## Health report:

The (northern hemisphere) summer vacation period has significantly impacted
contributions, also a big block of active contributors (that are all employed
from one vendor) have slowed down their active work on the project.

We also added a status page to show all the continous integration (AppVeyor,
Travis CI) statuses of all our repos in Github, providing a quick glance at
project health. The status page is at http://cordova.github.io/cordova-status/
which shows the status of all our 60+ repos.

We also have a CI server that does periodic builds of all the repos at
http://cordova-ci.cloudapp.net:8080/view/Periodic%20builds/

We are also providing nightly builds of all the major platforms, and the CLI:
https://builds.apache.org/job/cordova-nightly/ and documented here:
http://cordova.apache.org/contribute/nightly_builds.html

We are currently working on getting stats on Github Pull Request activity. The
loss of active contributors is impacting this, and we have a huge backlog, and
we have no active way of measuring this on a daily or weekly basis so we don't
know how we are progressing on this currently. Some work has been done on
this: https://github.com/cordova/cordova-pull-request-stats

Report from the Apache Cordova committee [Shazron Abdullah]

## Description:

A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and

## Issues:

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

We had three patch platform releases: iOS, Ubuntu and Windows.

Windows had one minor platform release, version 4.4.0, which included
significant improvements and features.

There were also 27 plugin releases, and minor cordova-cli releases (6.1.0 and
6.2.0), which includes an improvement that allows for plugin developers to
give a mapping of plugin releases to project requirements, greatly enhancing
plugin compatibility for platform and cli versions. We also released an
improved documentation search update on http://cordova.apache.org

## Health report:

For this period, we managed two overall plugins releases (same as last
quarter) when our goal was to have one plugins release per week, although we
had individual plugin releases as well. We had a slight decrease (27 vs 34)
of plugins that were released this quarter versus last quarter.

## Description:

A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and
JavaScript.

## Issues:

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

Current releases have been voted on according to the Apache vote policy.

We had one major platform release, cordova-osx, which has been revived after a
2.5 year absence and comes with Cordova Platform API support.

The other releases have been minor patch releases for 5 other platforms. Of
note, cordova-ubuntu had several patch releases after a year of absence,
mainly updates to support newer releases of the ubuntu SDK. cordova-windows
had several patch releases, the major one being support for the Cordova
Platform API. cordova-android had a patch release where it has support for a
new Plugin API.

cordova-ios had several patch releases - the latest was to fix a serious app
freezing situation, and also to support the new 167x167 icon needed for iPad
support. cordova-browser had a patch release to replace the cordova-serve
implementation with an updated version that uses `express` instead of our own
implementation.

There were also 18 plugin releases, and a major cordova-cli release to 6.0.0,
which includes default plugin pinning, as well as a new template feature. We
also released a significant documentation update that addresses major pain
points in developing for Cordova based on feedback we got from a survey we put
out (where we got 900 responses).

## Health report:

The month of December was slower because of the holiday period but activity
picked up around the middle of January. Consequently, we had a slight decrease
in the number of releases from last quarter (34 vs 37). For this period, we
managed two overall plugins releases (up from one, from last quarter) when our
goal was to have one plugins release per week, although we had individual
plugin releases as well.

## Mailing list activity:

The number of subscribers to dev@ has been consistently decreasing (~3% loss
every quarter) but nothing significant. However during this quarter we had a
50% increase of issue@ activity which could be attributed to increased testing
during the holiday period when development at users' companies might have
slowed down, so users could test better.

16 Dec 2015 [Shazron Abdullah / Rich]

## Description:

A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and
JavaScript.

## Activity:

Current releases have been voted on according to the Apache vote policy. We
had two major platform releases - cordova-ios-4.0.0 and cordova-android-5.0.0,
including minor updates to cordova-windows@4.2.0 (back button handling) and
cordova-ios@3.9.2 (iOS 9 support).

cordova-ios@4.0.0 brings anticipated WKWebView support to the platform (as
well as a pluggable webview architecture), while cordova-android@5.0.0 brought
Android Marshmallow permission checking in plugins.

Apache Cordova contributors also had a face to face meeting at the Microsoft
Campus in Redmond, WA, USA from Oct 14-15, 2015 -- where we discussed and
planned the future of the project. Proposals discussed there have been
reported back to the dev@c.a.o mailing list and most of them have been acted
upon.


## Health report:

After the summer vacation period was over, activity has picked up, although we
had a significantly lower number of releases from last quarter (37 vs 45). For
this period, we again managed only one overall plugins release (of 22 plugins)
when our goal was to have one plugins release per week, although we had
individual plugin releases as well.

## Issues:

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

16 Sep 2015 [Shazron Abdullah / Brett]

## Description:

   A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and
   JavaScript.

## Activity:

Current releases have been voted on according to the Apache vote policy. We
missed the target of releasing the cordova-ios 4.0.0 platform this quarter
(but released minor versions 3.9.0 and 3.9.1), and are actively working on
updating our other platform versions for the upcoming quarter.

We released a new platform, cordova-browser@4.0.0, and minor updates for
cordova-android and cordova-windows. We have two platforms that have been
revived after being inactive for some time -- cordova-webos@3.7.0 and
cordova-blackberry10@3.8.0.

We also renamed and moved all our core plugins to npm (node package manager -
npmjs.org), and set the Cordova Plugins Registry (c.p.r) to read-only, with a
shut-down date tentatively set for October 15th, 2015. Users that use the old
plugin ids from the c.p.r are re-directed to npm automatically from our
cordova-cli.

## Health report:

Due to the summer vacation period, activity is slower than usual especially on
release of plugins, although we had essentially the same number of releases
from last quarter (45 vs 46). For this period, we managed only one overall
plugins release (of 22 plugins) when our goal was to have one plugins release
per week.

17 Dec 2014 [Shazron Abdullah / Chris]

Apache Cordova is a platform for building native mobile applications using
HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

# Status

Current releases have been voted on according to the Apache vote policy.

We have released Cordova CLI 4.0 which is the beginning of the independence
of platform versions from the cli version. For example, with the Cordova CLI
4.0 release, it includes the pinned platform versions at version 3.6.4
(except for cordova-browser, at 3.6.0). Each new platform release will
correspond with a tools release to update the pinned versions.

Since the last board report, Apache Cordova has had:

- over 2100 commits in its 52 Git repositories
- over 2800 emails in its dev mailing list
- over 4500 issues/comments on issues in JIRA
- 8 new contributors filed iCLAs specifically for contributing to Apache Cordova
- over 436,000 downloads of cordova from https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova

Since the last board report, Apache Cordova has had 60 different releases. We
also released a new platform, cordova-browser.

19 Feb 2014 [Brian LeRoux / Greg]

Apache Cordova is a platform for building native mobile applications using
HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

STATUS

It was recently brought to our attention that we had not being following
Apache releases precisely as desired by policy. There has been lengthy
discussion this report will attempt to summarize actions being taken by
Cordova.

 * Archived release artifacts will get a Vote thread for everything here [1]
 * Current release artifacts Vote happening immediately for everything here [2]
 * We will follow the Vote policy for all MAJOR/MINOR/PATCH releases moving
   forward
 * We have begun investigation of automating releases w/ an eye to improving
   policy in the future

Open discussion to understand how this process should work with package
manager distribution. [3] [4] Related, but not directly nor an immediate
concern, is App Store distribution. [5]

21 Nov 2012 [Brian LeRoux / Greg]

Apache Cordova is a platform for building native mobile applications
using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Status:

Post graduation development cadence remains very strong. Work remains
to complete migration from incubator infra.

Community:

- Our incubator infra to tlp infra migration ongoing. Only two steps
 left are moving the site off incubator and creating our new git
 repos.

- There is concern that it has been difficult for our members to help
 infra. Cordova required git post-commit hooks to wire CI. Ended up
 writing our own server on a community members own hardware to poll
 our git repos to facilitate after multiple attempts working w/ infra
 to set this up.

- Cordova documentation is currently *not* hosted on Cordova project
 website but rather a downstream distribution site. (Nor has project
 website been migrated from incubator domain so expect to fix this in
 one go.)

- There has been some minor confusion with the CLAs and the account
 request mechanism. We will refine our project contribution
 guidelines to make this process more clear.

Releases:

Cordova has two official releases as an Apache project and expects a
third this month.

AI: Bertrand: It would be good to clarify the "difficult for our members to help infra" bit.

Apache Cordova is a platform for building native mobile applications
using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The project entered incubation as
Apache Callback in October, 2011, before changing its name to Cordova.

January could be characterized as the month where we hit our stride
on Apache infra. Tonnes of updates to the code. Huge activity on the
mailing list. Two new committers voted in.

Currently, we recognize the majority of commits are currently coming
from Adobe and IBM actively pushing to our repositories on git-wip-us
(6 and 4 active pushers respectively). We aim to add more contributors
in coming releases as per The Apache Way.

 - shipped 1.4 (NOTE: we aim to make 1.5 our first official apache release)
 - continued code migration to Cordova name
 - new Apache Cordova logo!
 - project web site design iteration
 - new automated build system code named 'coho'

December was a busy month. Lots of updates to the code base and our working
toolchain.

We would particularly like to thank infra for all the work getting us setup
with git. We really appreciate the effort and valuable discussion
surrounding it. It is this sort of attention to community that makes us
grateful to be members of the Apache community.

* shipped 1.3 with full windows phone support (NOTE: this was not an ASF
release; this is next for us)
* BlackBerry Playbook support
* started migration to Cordova name
* git migration complete
* battery events api
(http://docs.phonegap.com/en/1.3.0/phonegap_events_events.md.html#Events)
* first version of the project web site up

Graduation concerns:

* Complete the migration to Apache infrastructure
* Make an official Apache release
* Grant committership to new contributors

21 Dec 2011

Project Status
--------------

Infrastructure migration still underway; the only major sticking point is
that GIT is crucially important for our community and workflow. Additionally
we have voted to rename the project to "Cordova".

We are contributing to the CouchDB project documentation that describes use
and, more importantly, the cutting of Apache releases from Git
infrastructure. Our goal is to bring our project to that infrastructure, and
we recognize it's our responsibility to ensure the goals of legal and
community at Apache do not suffer for it.

A request to participate in the Git alpha testing has been made to
infrastructure. All mentors supported this request.

The name "Callback" was suboptimal for findability, and worse, authored
documentation relating to the JavaScript interfaces found in the project.
Cordova was the street of the old Nitobi office wherein the PhoneGap project
was conceived and has some community precedent in another related tooling
project. Discussion was positive, and the vote nearly unanimous. We now
need to address infra to engage the rename work (and probably send em a
bottle in thanks for being a pain the ass).

Community
---------

* Community is growing with documentation traffic, and downloads, up.
* The mailing list has been super active with new community members.
* Jira embraced however we are still getting issues logged on Github.
Committers are using Github as a funnel to capture issues, still, and
manually moving them to Jira once vetted.
* Renaming needs to be promoted.

Community Objectives
--------------------

* Migrate to the name Cordova and update the community appropriately.
* Continue to assist in documentation effort for CouchDB use of Git.

Releases

* 1.2.x, Oct 31
