Status report for the Apache Cordova project - June 2020

Description:

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

Activity

• We have not made a decision how best to use last year's generous donation since our plan to contract a specialist for UX and technical writing to update our documentation and create getting started guides was denied. We will likely use the funds to purchase test devices for committers who need them, pending Apache approval, and acceptance by the donor.

Issues:

• There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

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 have been extremely stable.

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