I see a separate Cordova repo that can include a copy of AeroGear.js with the default adapters (Pipeline:Rest, Auth:Rest, DataManager:Memory), then we could implement other adapters, like a DataManager:CoreData adapter on top of that. Our custom build system should allow for building a custom Cordova download as well as be able to include other pieces from the AeroGear.js core (DataManager:SessionLocal for example).
