Re: PhoneGap Plugins?
It could be integrated into Apache.
What exactly would the process of integrating look like?
I suspect it would start with a vote email?
Since the existing plugin license is MIT, what happens here? I don't know the rules or process on how we can change the license. I had read that there were exceptions where we might be able to keep the original license while in Apache. I believe...
Also, would the old repo be transferred, forked, hard copy?
If we do this, we could start with "phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner”.

Great idea Julio. I've updated the readme to point to the forked plugin.

Re: PhoneGap Plugins?
Posted by julio cesar sanchez <jc...@gmail.com>.
The push plugin is already forked and got a few code updates, so if you
could point to it in the phonegap one would be good. Will have a different
name, so people will have to replace it.
For the barcode, the aar used on android is 4 year old and it’s built from
a zxing app that was abandoned 2 years ago and that was very hard to
update, so I don’t think it makes sense to continue maintaining it as is.
Nowadays there are better sdks, so would make more sense a completely new
plugin, but doesn’t need to be on the Apache umbrella.

Yeah, no worries folks. If you don't have the bandwidth to pull them
under the Apache umbrella I completely understand.
As for licensing, we'd be able to figure it out. I work with 4 lawyers
on this stuff so they would be able to figure out a path that works.

Re: PhoneGap Plugins?

At this point I would be a little reluctant to start supporting more
plugins.
Issues and unmerged PRs seem to keep piling up in multiple places. Here are
a couple of very sad examples:
- https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/pull/795
- https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file/pull/242
