OK. I won't look at trademark issues in detail for now.

Documentation is under the same license as the code so the rules for reuse
are the same.

that it is seen as the canonical source of information about Apache Cordova.
That is pretty hard to do if the documentation is only available on a
non-ASF domain.

>From a trademark perspective all uses of our marks need to conform to the
trademark policy [1] (FAQ at [2]). Note specifically the area on attribution
which is the area I think the PhoneGap site is most likely to fall foul of
(happily this is likely easy to rectify).

Ya, very much a transitional thing. Agree we should be publishing on
Cordova site. Come to think of it--we still need to move from incubator
subdomain too.

What is the past convention here for downstream distributions?

There are potentially trademark issues, at the very least. I've not done a
review so am not saying there is a problem, just that there may be. Before
doing a review I wanted to see if this was a transitional thing.

A concern I do have is that the documentation only appears on a third party
site. Why is it not on the project site?

Is there a problem w/ a downstream dist publishing docs?
