Hi everyone, I'd be happy to make the unofficial push to NPM. I'll make the release this aft.
Thanks, Mark.

I don't think we would want to do this as a BlackBerry (RIM) release since we already have two tested distributions [1][2]. We can do it as an individual release, however, being BlackBerry employees we would need to do some internal work to be able to make it happen and it would definitely take more then a few days. If members of our community (and Cordova's community) really need this published sooner rather then later, especially so that this can be easily integrated with the Cordova CLI, I would like to ask on here if there are any volunteers that could publish this to NPM as an individual release. You would need to make sure, as Jukka said, that it is marked as a non-apache endorsed release. I would also ask that you add myself, Gord Tanner, Brent Lintner, and Fillip Maj as contributors. In the mean time, I think this should go through the proper Apache channels and I will start work on getting everything lined up for an Apache release. Thoughts? Comments? Thanks, Dan.
