So, should we start the formal proposal to the Apache Foundation to move on making Ripple a part of Cordova? I am guessing that we would need technical reasons on why that would make sense. I could help with drafting the proposal.
- Ripple is mostly used for Cordova development. Browsers already have viewport/touch emulation built in and the value of ripple is minimal in this space - Ripple is very similar to other top level 'Cordova tools' like CLI, Medic, etc. Hence, it makes sense to treat it as such and make it a part of the Cordova like the other projects. -----Original Message----- From: brian.ler...@gmail.com [mailto:brian.ler...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Brian LeRoux Sent: Monday, April 28, 2014 10:42 AM To: dev@cordova.apache.org Subject: Re: [Discuss] The Future of Ripple as a Top Level ASF Project Its not a bad idea but this takes Ripple out of 'gui simulator' into 'env simulator' territory. FWIW, we hope to have cycles this summer to put into cordova-browser but help from others would be VERY welcome.
