Hello,

I'm looking at improving our vscode extension for Cordova development. 
Currently we bundle a set of typings for Cordova and some plugins with the 
extension, and we use these typings to provide intellisense even for plain 
javascript projects. I would like to improve this by using the correct typings 
for the actual version of Cordova and the plugins that are being used with the 
project. Right now the only typings that I am aware of are in the 
definitelytyped git repository, and they reflect the "latest as of when they 
were made" version of Cordova / the plugins. The "typings" tool for typescript 
typings can access these typings, but it has no knowledge of what version the 
typings are for, and I also don't believe it supports referencing a particular 
commit from definitelytyped either.

In an ideal world (from my perspective at least) typings for Cordova and the 
plugins would be migrated to other npm packages and referenced by the 
plugin/cordovan pm packages, or otherwise added to the typings ecosystem. That 
would allow someone to simply "typings install 
cordova@6.1.0<mailto:cordova@6.1.0> 
cordova-plugin-geolocation@1.0.1<mailto:cordova-plugin-geolocation@1.0.1> 
--global" and know that the typings reflect the particular versions that they 
are using.  Are there any plans to do this going forwards? Or if not, would 
there be objections to someone else registering the typings with 
https://github.com/typings/registry ?

Thanks,
Jimmy
