Filip Maj commented on CB-298:
------------------------------

Plugin story is being worked out in the PluginDesign wiki article and the recent "Pluginzation FTW" thread on the mailing list. Let's keep the discussion to ML and the PluginDesign draft.

As for this issue, how about, as a happy medium, we implement deprecation notices for the {{PhoneGap}} and {{Cordova}} global object's methods, but route it through some mechanism that Pat suggests, wherein each deprecation notice only {{console.log}}s its message once. This should satisfy concerns about performance and also provide enough warning for our users.

Yay/nay?

> There are two globals currently defined in Cordova-JS' common platform definition, which get dropped onto the `window` object: `plugins` and `PhoneGap`.

> In 1.6, let's set up deprecation notices for these.
