A lot of work is being put into breaking out the plugins into individual repositories, as a prep for 3.0. One of my goals on this project is to ship a Cordova for 3.0 that allows users to compose a cordova application shell with whatever plugins they wish, including the core APIs. This way users don't need to bundle all core APIs (and related permissions, etc.) with every app they build.
So just a friendly reminder that, if you are patching a particular core API, be it javascript or native code, please remember to also patch the plugin repository with the same commit. I understand it can be a bit of pain to double-up your work, but this should be a temporary thing that will no longer be necessary post-3.0. Related to this: if anyone is curious about what the cordova libraries will look like for 3.0, there are long-lived 3.0 branches being worked on on all the main cordova implementations (android, blackberry, iOS, and the windows phones) where the core APIs are being ripped out, and any weird coupling between API code and the underlying framework is being slowly teased out. Thank you! :) Fil
