Hi,

All Cordova committers should ideally push directly to the Cordova
repositories at git-wip-us.apache.org.

We can set up mirrors of those repositories on Github or elsewhere,
but for finely grained audit logs for code provenance the repositories
on Apache servers should be the primary push target. As soon as we are
happy with the functionality of the git-wip-us repositories, the
existing github.com/callback and github.com/cordova spaces should be
discontinued.

Contributors that are not yet Cordova committers can push their
changes to their personal clones on Github and send a pull request by
email to callback-dev@ (to be renamed) or to the appropriate CB issue.
The git-svn repositories mirrored at github.com/apache already support
automatic forwarding of pull request notifications to the respective
dev@ lists, so we could set up something similar also for Cordova if
there's interest. And of course changes can also be submitted as
normal patches even without any Git push/pull workflows.

It would be great if the Cordova community came up with a wiki or web
page that outlines the recommended contribution workflow.

Once a contributor has submitted enough good patches, he or she should
be granted Cordova committership and thus direct push access to the
Cordova repositories on git-wip-us.

BR,
