Great news Joe. I agree with the time statement, post vacation time. Allows time for doc, test, and logistics for release.
Documenting some guides on what these two plugins means for developer in terms of features, support and handling a single project that wants to target Android 2.3 + Android 4.x. Instrumenting test framework to test integration between cordova-andoird and plugins. Also discuss how the release cycle will work. Who owns what? >From what I little understand is that cordova-android remains ASF and owned by Apache Cordova. But this cordova-android is a new version that has an API to support plugins that replace the OS web view. The plugins are not owned by ASF/Apache Cordova, we just need to document and support a stable API. And the gecko view plugin will be owned by Mozilla outside ASF, and crosswalk owned by Intel outside ASF?
