+1 I’ve used both Gulp & Yeoman’s search, and prefer both to NPM (although it’s not difficult to be better than NPM’s search).
I also think close association with the brand and site are important. For those users who don’t know about Node & NPM yet, it’s quickly apparent that there’s a large community creating plugins for Cordova, and for everyone else, we have a URL that helps reinforce the Cordova name. NPM would still be canonical, of course. (Now if NPM improved their search and did some nice work around ecosystems, perhaps the above wouldn’t be necessary. But I’m not going to hold my breath…) On May 27, 2015 at 8:19:35 AM, Tommy-Carlos Williams ([email protected]) wrote: +1 > On 26 May 2015, at 21:44, Carlos Santana <[email protected]> wrote: > > I would like to see plugin.cordova.io be a page easy to search and filter > cordova plugins just like gulp [1], grunt [2], yeoman [3] and bower [4] > > [1]: http://gulpjs.com/plugins > [2]: http://gruntjs.com/plugins > [3]: http://yeoman.io/generators > [4]: http://bower.io/search > > > > On Sat, May 2, 2015 at 3:57 PM Michael Brooks <[email protected]> > wrote: > >>> >>> The mirroring may not help for search, but my worry is that a lot of >> folks >>> would still be on 4.3.0 and when cordova plugins registry becomes read >>> only, they would not get bug fixes and other plugin updates. >> >> >> My experience is this: >> >> - A developer who is willing to upgrade a platform is also willing to >> upgrading a plugin. >> - A developer who is *not* willing to upgrade a platform is also *not* >> willing in upgrading a plugin. >> >> I think it's reasonable to offer a read-only state for the legacy plugin >> registry.
