package discovery

Hey everyone!

With templates out now, I wanted to propose a few keywords for improving
discoverability.

Firstly, every package should contain 'ecosystem:cordova'.

I suggest we add these new keywords.
'cordova:platform'
'cordova:plugin'
'cordova:template'
'cordova-tool' (don't really need this one)

then we can eventually create a new template.cordova.io search site based
off the plugins search site that uses the 'cordova:template'.

I'm going to blog about templates next week as long as we can land some
consensus on this.

RE: package discovery

Posted by Nikhil Khandelwal <ni...@microsoft.com>.
When we were building cordova plugin search, we had ideas to have a page dedicated to listing plugins under meaningful categories. However, we could not do that unless plugins had the correct keywords. I want to piggyback on this call for plugins to add the correct keywords.

How about these specific keywords describing different categories of plugins:
- Storage
- Monetization
- Authentication
- Device interaction (can keywords have spaces?)
- Cloud services

Any other categories?

Shouldn't cordova-tool be cordova:tool ?
I might like cordova:tooling better, not sure ...

RE: package discovery

I like the idea. However, currently plugins are being identified with "ecosystem:cordova" keyword. We might have to maintain that for all plugins that do not switch to these new keyword below.

For "tool" there is at least one example of a tool which currently shows up in plugin search: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-hot-code-push-cli

So let's add the keyword anyway.

Hey everyone!

With templates out now, I wanted to propose a few keywords for improving discoverability.

Firstly, every package should contain 'ecosystem:cordova'.

I suggest we add these new keywords.
'cordova:platform'
'cordova:plugin'
'cordova:template'
'cordova-tool' (don't really need this one)

then we can eventually create a new https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=template.cordova.io&data=01%7c01%7cnikhilkh%40microsoft.com%7c2cf20074433d482eead908d32e65dce6%7c72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7c1&sdata=csk3hOeXJ%2bJSp1lZCkUba1zeVF51mFCAhjOJ7B8wVa8%3d search site based off the plugins search site that uses the 'cordova:template'.

I'm going to blog about templates next week as long as we can land some consensus on this.
