Recent work has been around keeping up with recent changes to iOS and Android, our most used platforms. We are also working towards reducing some of our technical debt, we have discussed narrowing our platform support by removing some of the now outdated platforms we support so we can better serve our community.
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 have been extremely stable.
ASF Project Statistics gives the project a Community Health Score (Chi): 6.33 (Healthy) That said, we are only seeing contributions from a small group of dedicated individuals, and a lot of work has been focused on reducing some of the technical debt to keep the project managable with the limited time we have. All the large corporate sponsered development has ceased, but the project continues to see good traffic, and usage has been stable.
The cordova-cli, the base tool used for creating/building/running gets 125k downloads a week on npm, and has been consistent for the last year. Various core plugins see usage in the 50-80k/wk range.
Our primary channel for helping, and hearing from users is via our #slack community, which has ~4k users and is fairly active.
The pmc has renewed interest in having online video hangouts, which we are aiming to have every 2-3 weeks or more if possible. Our time-zones are very distrubuted, so we will likely distribute the timing as well. All meetings will be recorded and shared on YouTube, and we hope to get more and more intrest from the community.
