Joe's future prediction skills were wrong "iOS will never adopt NFC, so I don't think that will ever be core. :( " http://apache.markmail.org/search/?q=org.apache.incubator.callback-dev+list%3Aorg.apache.incubator.callback-dev+order%3Adate-backward+NFC#query:org.apache.incubator.callback-dev%20list%3Aorg.apache.incubator.callback-dev%20order%3Adate-backward%20NFC+page:2+mid:dktjzff4coc7cw5p+state:results
...time to reconsider adding NFC support to Core? :) Lisa I have an existing NFC plugin https://github.com/chariotsolutions/phonegap-nfc I'm hoping to implement a new plugin based on the w3c spec to help work out some issues. If anyone is interested in helping with the new implementation or has feedback on the w3c spec let me know.

In seriousness, if its a w3c spec I feel we should strongly considering adopting in our 'core' of plugins. (And likewise, deprecating things the w3c has moved on from such as WebSQL, Net Info, etc.) On Mon, Jan 20, 2014 at 2:52 PM, Lisa Seacat DeLuca <[email protected] wrote: What is Core? ... granted I haven't been as active as I would like in this community recently but one of the reasons I joined (other than IBM's interest in Worklight and Open Source) was to help understand the alignment of w3c specs and Cordova. My understanding of Cordova is that eventually it will "go away" meaning the browser players will catch up and enable device functionality in the mobile browsers without the need for the Cordova bridge. So if something is in a w3c spec I think it should be considered for the Cordova core code. Which is why I suggested NFC given it's w3c interest. *Lisa Seacat DeLuca* Emerging Mobile Software Engineer - IBM Master Inventor SWG Emerging Internet Standards ------------------------------ *Phone:* 1-410-332-2128 | *Mobile:* 1-415-787-4589 * E-mail:* *[email protected]* <[email protected]> * personal website: **lisaseacat.com* <http://lisaseacat.com/> * Chat:*[image: Sametime:] [email protected] * Find me on:* [image: LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/lisaseacat]< http://www.linkedin.com/in/lisaseacat> [image: Twitter: https://twitter.com/LisaSeacat]< https://twitter.com/LisaSeacat> *and within IBM on:* [image: IBM Connections: https://w3-connections.ibm.com/profiles/html/profileView.do?key=2e1afd56-daa9-428e-8f4a-2fa7516940c0 ]< https://w3-connections.ibm.com/profiles/html/profileView.do?key=2e1afd56-daa9-428e-8f4a-2fa7516940c0 [image: IBM] 100 East Pratt St 21-2212 Baltimore, MD 21202-1009 United States From: Ian Clelland <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, [email protected] Date: 01/20/2014 05:42 PM Subject: Re: NFC API at W3C Sent by: [email protected] ------------------------------ Definitely a cool plugin opportunity -- I'd love to make it easy for apps to take advantage of that kind of hardware. I don't yet see the benefit of having it in core, though (independent of actual device support -- I'd say this even if some future iOS device does have it built-in one day) What does "core" mean these days? (Asking seriously; I recall having some F2F discussion of this, but I don't know that we've ever explicitly spelled it out) Is it a commitment by the community to maintain and support a plugin? Or by Apache, or Adobe, or the PMC? It is a commitment to implement the functionality on all of our supported platforms? Does it just mean a repository at git.apache.org? Or a component in JIRA? Something else? Namespaces? npm? All of the above? I feel like "core" should imply some sort of responsibility from the PMC, but also that it should be reserved for pieces which are either critical to Cordova, have exactly 1 possible implementation (based on a published web standard) or else are really tricky (but important) to get right. I don't see any reason why an NFC app (or several) couldn't be maintained outside of the project, even if it's written by core committers.
