RE: Adding Examples for Plugins in the ReadMe
Hey everyone,
Norm redid the PR to temporarily remove the links to the full sample apps until we figure out where to put them [1]. I'm going to go ahead and merge the rest of his changes unless anyone objects. For those interested, he's also done some samples for inAppBrowser [2].
Thanks,
Richard

Subject: Re: Adding Examples for Plugins in the ReadMe
Currently, 'Cordova plugin add local/path' will copy the entire contents of local/path to currentApp/plugins/new-plugin
This is only true of local git clones and installs via githuburls. Npm installs should use .npmignore to exclude demo code inclusion.
We should eventually make plugin install honor the text of .npmignore or add an <exclude> tag to plugin.xml
