Status report for the Apache Cordova project - December 2019

Description:

A platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Issues:

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

Activity:

cordova-eslint is a new repo which consolidates linting standards which will be applied across all our repos.

The project received a generous anonymous donation, which took us a while to decide on an acceptable use of the funds. We will be using the donation to pay to have some documentation, information architecture and technical writing done to update our documentation and author some getting started guides.

cordova-ios release includes prep work for removing the UIWebView implementation ( deprecated by Apple ) We will move forward this quarter with the migration from UIWebView to WKWebView for iOS.

Health report:

Our status dashboard at http://status.cordova.io is mostly all green - failures are usually due to external service issues that do device testing. Our nightly builds remain extremely stable.

We are still working to resolve all existing issues in JIRA while also maintaining all the new issues and pull requests in Github.
