moving plugins to npm

[Don Coleman <do...@gmail.com>]

I'm little nervous about changing the ids for my plugins for npm.

I like the cordova-plugin-* prefix. I think the consistency is good. Is
there any concern that the namespace is too small?

Will newer versions of plugman automatically install the right plugin based
on the id mapping or does it just issue a warning?

During the transition do I publish new versions of plugins to both
cordova.io and npm?

FWIW, I am hoping that the smaller namespace will be a good thing, and
cause there to be fewer higher-quality plugins to emerge.

I don't think so. I would suggest trying to keep the names short. You don't
have to use cordova-plugin-* prefix. Important part is adding
"ecosystem:cordova" keyword

Warning for now. We may do the auto map and install in the future though.

Up to you. plugins.cordova.io will be switched to read-only in about 3
months (July 15).
