During today's DAP Working Group call, we chatted about pushing the alignment between the Apache Cordova APIs and the w3c specs. I'm sending out this email to get the ball rolling and start discussing some ideas to make this happen. Suggested Steps Create a set of JIRA issues within the Cordova tracking system for each of the issues. Dom has already graciously started this process. There are currently 10 issues opened. Anyone can come in and open issues so if you see something that has been left off this list please open a new issue. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6065 battery https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6066 html media capture https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6068 contacts https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6069 motion https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6070 orientation https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6071 notifications https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6072 File transfer https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6073 I18N https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6074 Media https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6075 Vibration which was marked as a dup of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5459 Prioritize the issues. Which of these issues would be the most beneficial to have? Which of the w3c specs are the most stabile? It makes sense to start with older specs first and work from there. Drill down and understand the disconnect. What does Cordova have that the w3c spec's don't have? What does the w3c specs have that Cordova is missing? What is the proposed alignment? ...add these types of comments to the JIRA issues. Once step 3 is determined, break the JIRA issues out into platform relevant issues. ex. battery for iOS, battery for Android, etc. This allows the Cordova team to take ownership for a platform that the team has expertise on. A general issue is also harder to track progress. We should also create a form letter that we can send out when new users come into Cordova volunteering to help out that shows them the status of the current JIRA issues related to the w3c alignment and a breakdown of each platform so they can get in and help out quickly. Another suggestion Dom made was to either create a task force within the web/mob IG and report status and document suggestions there or otherwise report regular status so that this alignment stays visible.
