+## Status report for the Apache Cordova project - December 2022
+
+## Description: 
+ - A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
+ 
+## Activity
+Current work continues to be keeping up with recent changes to iOS and Android, our most used platforms, and updating plugins. 
+
+- We have updated our community plugin search page to make it more manageable as it was depending on a 3rd party api which was shut down.
+- We now have github discussions enabled. *(Thanks INFRA!)*
+
+## Issues: 
+  - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
+   
+## Health report: 
+
+Our status dashboard at http://status.cordova.io remain mostly all green - failures are usually due to external service issues that do device testing. Our nightly builds are still extremely stable.
+
+ASF Project Statistics gives the project a Community Health Score (Chi): 4.7 Healthy
+
+We continue to see contributions from a small group of dedicated individuals. Things remain stable and the project continues to see good traffic.
+
+Our primary channel for helping, and hearing from users is via our #slack community, which has ~4k users and continues to be fairly active.  We have begun transitioning conversations to github discussions.
+
+## Questions from last report
+
+> cd: You say, the primary channel for helping is the cordova slack.
+> As there is no #cordova in the ASF slack, I assume it's an
+> external one. Is there any form of archive of old questions and
+> searchability? Or is this used entirely for support and not for
+> discussions about the project itself?
+
+We have our own slack community that is used exclusively to support developers and allow developers to help eachother. This is a hold-over from the days when Adobe/PhoneGap were active in the project, Adobe used to pay for #slack bill. We have since moved to the free-tier which is quite limiting.
+The PMC has a private channel but it is really only used for near realtime discussion and any decisions are taken to the mailing list before being finalized.
+
+Searchability is not great within #slack as is, and in the free tier we can only search back as far as 10k messages across all channels.  In order to keep historical conversations we have a daily digest service (github action) to copy all public conversations to a github repo in markdown.
+
+The digest can be found here: https://github.com/apache/cordova/tree/master/slack-digest
+
+That said, the pmc does realize that the slack funnel is very limiting and we have enabled **github discussions** This seems to be a better forum for technical discussions as it happens closer to the code.
+
+Our discussion area is live in the same repo at https://github.com/apache/cordova/discussions
+
+

+There are currently 99 committers and 96 PMC members in this project.
