Roadmap for next few weeks - Microsoft - April Edition
Hey folks,
Last month, we sent out a list of things that the team at Microsoft was working on, for the Apache Cordova project. You can find that list here - http://apache.markmail.org/thread/lqvfduev3ib2ob62
We made a lot of progress, and I wanted to keep up the cadence, telling people what we plan to work on. I am hoping that with this list available, folks can tell us if there are interesting things we should look at, or even better – join us on working on all the fun stuff.
From last week
============
Last week, most of our focus was on making documentation better. We made some good progress on that, and now have an improved look for the documentation. We also started adding much more detailed examples to our plugins so that anyone getting started with plugins could simply copy the examples and see them in action.
We worked on the splash screen and camera bugs, and have closed a large number. Many folks told us that plugins bugs are a cause of concern, and we would like to cause a dent in that bug debt.
In the near Future
===============
Cordova’s power it its community and I think that we would like to encourage more people in making Cordova better. We are looking at building a system to run tests when someone submits a PR – a method that most open source projects follow to easily respond to pull request. We would like to continue fixing bugs on Camera plugins.
We would also like to switch gears a little bit an focus on the phonegap barcode scanner plugin, and the phonegap push plugin. Typically, we are looking to add features like background support for Windows in the push plugin, android M support in Barcode scanner, etc. While these plugins are not core Cordova plugins, these are super popular and people have even asked that they be core plugins !
We would also like to work on things like Plugin compatibility when folks update their platforms, etc.
P.S: Please do let us know if these emails from us are useful and if we should continue sending them. Would also love to hear what you fine folks are working on, in the near future :)

Yes, I noticed these updates too. I plan to reach out to Eddy to see if we can consolidate fixes into one github repo here[1]. We're fixing Windows implementation in that repo.

Hello Parashuram.
I find your mails useful.
About the BarcodeScanner plugin, this weekend I saw that Eddy updated one, not sure if that's the same that you are planning to work on https://github.com/Telerik-Verified-Plugins/BarcodeScanner

Yeah, these updates are super useful. Speaking of the barcode scanner
is anyone looking at this one:

I find the Roadmap emails useful. Perhaps other teams should consider it as
well.
Plugin bugs are definitely a concern. Speaking for myself I have been more
concerned with platform bugs, trying to get the ios platform stable.

I did a limited thing when doing the cordova-ios-4.x upgrade. Would be
great to have an automated tool that could pull in "popular" plugins (or
even all known plugins) to see if they all build. This would be useful when
upgrading a major version of a platform.
