Hi Brian, Filip,
Thanks for your welcome.
The best place to learn more on the Tizen platform is the public project
web site www.tizen.org and the developers' web pages:
https://developer.tizen.org/
https://developer.tizen.org/documentation
You will find there public releases of the SDK (linux, windows) and
related documentation.
There's no Tizen devices available yet.
Tizen APIs are still subject to change (the current SDK is a Beta
release) so we are trying to stay in sync with them.
About porting Cordova to Tizen, we should use only W3C and Tizen Web
APIs (actually our preferred choice once they exist !). On the public
repository https://github.com/otcshare/cordova-tizen, you will find only
available W3C and Tizen Web APIs implementations.
When we started to work on porting PhoneGap callback-js was not yet
available, but we heard about that unifying effort so at some points, we
will have to integrate Tizen support in callback-js. Do you think we
should continue with our JavaScript shim-layer (inspired from the WebOS
one) or should we directly try to integrate it into callback-js? (or may
be both ?)
Last, next step is clearly to make cordova-tizen available through
Apache Foundation and we will work on ICLA thing asap.
Advices or suggestions are welcome.
Cordially,
Paul

Welcome Paul! Next step would be getting ICLA [1] signed and filed
and, upon a review of the code, we can vote to make you a committer
and then create a repo on ASF infrastructure to push the code to.
Everything happens here on the mailing list discussion wise. We track
our tasks in JIRA. [2]
Def recommend dialing into the cordova-js project. [3] Its a unified
layer for platform javascripts. Some variance between the platforms
still exists but the effort is to get all the logic in one place
first, and then we can look at improving upon it. We aim for platform
parity right now using mobile-spec test suite [4]. Finally, when you
feel ready, the documentation for Cordova will need updating for
getting started guides and any "quirks" that Tizen might have compared
to the other platforms. [5]
Tizen looks very close in spirit to BlackBerry Webworks so this port
should be pretty painless! Can you link us up the best places to learn
about the platform? Are there Tizen developer devices shipping yet?

Hi everyone,
We’d like to advertise our on-going effort of porting PhoneGap on top of
Tizen platform https://www.tizen.org/
As it looked the most simple and natural way to us, we decided to implement
a JavaScript shim layer mapping PhoneGap APIs to corresponding Tizen Web
APIs (W3C or proprietary) available from its public web SDK.
Current developments under Apache 2.0 license are pushed here
https://github.com/otcshare/cordova-tizen
We are excited to contribute to the PhoneGap community and hope that we can
get some support.
Thanks
