Oh just the usual overconfidence and optimism of a software developer! =)
I do find the Apache documentation a little scattered and verbose.

Our mentors have been super responsive and helpful so I couldn't ask
for more there. Better docs would be the biggest thing in my mind.

No, I like the formality of a release. I would not challenge this part
of the Apache practice though I would encourage more cadence be a part
of The Apache Way. Regular releases are absolutely a driver for
adoption and confidence in our committers.

Yup

Actually, and I have no idea how we can do this, I think Apache could
really use a solid IxD/UX person fulltime rework the docs to the
benefit of all. The information is all there but parsing it is the
tricky part.

Looks good, thanks! Signed off.
It's taking a bit longer than expected to produce an official Apache
release of Cordova. What do you feel are (and have been) the biggest
problems along the way?
AFAICT at least the IP review part has been a bit complicated. Do you
think better documentation of the requirements, more active
involvement by us mentors, or something else could have helped here?
Do you think some of the requirements were too strict and should
perhaps be challenged? Other feedback on how we could make the process
smoother?
Another area of some confusion are the packaging and distribution bits
that especially Steven was looking at. The related ASF documentation
is arguably a bit fragmented and at times perhaps too verbose.
Similarly to the above questions, any ideas on how we could/should
simplify these things?
BR,

"cordova-js migration complete for android and blackberry"
BlackBerry still has the File APIs missing, FYI, or at least not passing
all tests.
