Greetings Cordova Dev Team!
Its been a while, so I thought I'd pop on the list and re-introduce myself.
Hello, my name is John M. Wargo and I've been a Cordova developer since
PhoneGap version 2 (more or less). I was a contributor for many years and wrote
4 books on Apache Cordova/PhoneGap
community and we really appreciate the years of
work you've dedicated to the project.)
also: would love to see you at PGD!

All,
SAP eliminated my position back in March, so I'm no longer involved with
SAP's Cordova-based

year if possible.

Ram,
This is the list used by the developers of Apache Cordova. If you want to know
how to do anything with Apache Cordova, the best place to start is the
documentation at http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.5.0/.
Support questions are best answered on Stack Overflow:
I recently created a node module called Cordova-create that takes care of the
typical developer new project workflow.
It makes calls to create, then adds a set of platforms and a set of plugins to
the project. I did this because I found myself performing the same steps over
and over again
UI is way beyond the scope of Cordova. If one were included, most would yank it
out and use something else. Use whatever you want, it's HTML, CSS and
JavaScript.
