+# cordova-create breakout Proposal
+
+status - In Progress
+
+## Overview
+
+Continuing the trend of breaking up cordova-lib into smaller modules, I'd like to see us break out `cordova-create`.
+
+`cordova-create` handles creating a cordova compatible project. It also handles templates. 
+
+This module would allow third party tools to not have to depend on `cordova` and/or `cordova-lib` to create cordova style projects. Some third party tools already have their own implementations to create a cordova style project that may differ from cordova's implementation which can cause problems.
+
+With `cordova-create`, we also get the benefits of having a smaller module that is easier to maintain and test.
+
+### Proposal
+
+Break out cordova-create into its own module and publish it to npm. It will live in the `cordova-lib` repo. `cordova-create` will be a dependency of `cordova-lib` and used when creating a cordova project.
+
+We already have a implentation ready for review at https://github.com/carynbear/cordova-create. This will have to be moved into cordova-lib's repo if this proposal is approved.
