I am all for "helping make improvements to Cordova itself" but very curious what exactly they have in mind. As for the second point don't you already have swappable webview ready to roll for 4.0? I would think if the Famo.us team was actually helping with cordova and on the mailing list they would already know this.... And the reason they don't want to just help and contribute to Open Source is because they need neat buzz words like "The Famo.us Wrapper".... sad...
