After some more time with it and creating the PRs, I think this is an appropriate description of cordova-mobile-spec:
> This `cordova-mobile-spec` repository can be used to create a Cordova app > that provides a set of manual tests to verify Cordova core functionality. > It also provides access to manual and automated tests of the installed > plugins (via `cordova-plugin-test-framework`) Here is the promised list of PRs (and issues): https://github.com/apache/cordova-mobile-spec/pull/154 - Clean up and rewrite READMEs https://github.com/apache/cordova-mobile-spec/pull/153 - Improve createmobilespec/createmobilespec.js https://github.com/apache/cordova-mobile-spec/pull/152 - fix location of key and build-extra.gradle for cordova-anroid 7.x https://github.com/apache/cordova-mobile-spec/pull/148 - remove deprecated platforms The test server for Cordova Plugin File-Transfer is closely connected to this: https://github.com/apache/cordova-labs/pull/15 - Update dependencies and replace iconv with iconv-lite https://github.com/apache/cordova-labs/issues/16 - Move cordova-filetransfer branch to cordova-plugin-file-transfer repo? Please go through and review them so I can then merge them. Thanks. -J Am Sa., 24.
