Hi Bryan, any progress on the doc side of things? From my experience with the new codebase, I shouldn't think that documenting the necessary workflows (plugins, getting started, etc) should be too time consuming. Currently docs and updating to 2.7.0 are the only blockers to pulling the blackerry/cordova-blackberry repo into Apache. I would really like to see this happen this week or early next week.
