Bas - Thanks for jumping into Cordova development! I've just given you JIRA perms to assign issues & close them.
You should get an email response from secretary@apache when they process your CLA, and then your name will show up here: https://people.apache.org/committer-index.html#unlistedclas. Process usually is quite quick, so hopefully will happen shortly. Please ping us when you hear back. I love to hear that you're running on Windows. Few of us use it as our main platform, so there's certainly a lot to gain by you testing on it :) On Tue, Jan 28, 2014 at 6:36 PM, Joe Bowser <bows...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey, I pulled in a change to Cordova-Android, and looked at some > others.
