Mediawiki has been upgraded to 1.17, post here if there are any problems. Thanks everyone for continuing to support this wiki, and thanks Dialexio and http for their excellent moderation(also props on the new table) --geohot 22:46, 15 July 2011 (MDT)
 * The one on the right is a thing with mediawiki, it does the styles all on its own. --Balloonhead66 22:47, 15 July 2011 (MDT)

A couple of things in general, I would really like to see higher quality content here, I wish http://iphonedevwiki.net/ would merge with us to get a good dev side of things. Also http://www.idroidproject.org/ could move here. This is a fairly reliable website that's been around since 2008. Tons of stuff should be filled out that isn't, stuff about all the sandboxing crap added to kernel...etc. If you know someone able to fill it out, poke and prod them to get them to do it. --geohot 23:01, 15 July 2011 (MDT)
 * And little side matter, anyone feel like coming up with a better image than the iphone 2g in the upper left corner? --geohot 23:06, 15 July 2011 (MDT)


 * I kindof did, here it is: File:NewLogo.png I can create a new one with the iPhone wiki, but I think that is already there. As for the apple favico, could we use File:Apple-logo.png? Convertico.com will create an ico file for you from a png--Balloonhead66 23:29, 15 July 2011 (MDT)

Table
Can we change it to a ? It looks MUCH nicer that way. --Balloonhead66 22:50, 15 July 2011 (MDT)

Firmware folder structure
Does it make sense to recreate the iOS folder structure and list every file and subfolder of every iDevice ? I think it's allot of effort to maintain and with iOS 5 upcoming I also forsee numerous changes. Having different firmwares for the devices (2g 3.X, 3G 4.X, 3GS 5.X, ...) makes it even harder I think. Just a thought.--M2m 21:00, 10 September 2011 (MDT)
 * I'll second that (though I haven't seen iOS 5's guts yet). Some notable files (e.g.- /private/etc/fstab) are all right though. -- Dialexio 22:30, 10 September 2011 (MDT)
 * I agree. I also find it very annoying that many Apps' pages got moved to some strange page name, just to match some file structure. I would prefer to have the Apps under their original name. If a page for some file structure infos is really needed, then this might get added additionally to either the App's page or a separate page. And if all agree to this change, how should we do this transition in detail? Maybe a page File Structure with all aggregated infos or something like this? --http 10:35, 11 September 2011 (MDT)
 * I second that. Maybe just model it after ONE firmware: iOS 5.0 for the iPhone 5 when it comes out... --Balloonhead66 13:34, 11 September 2011 (MDT)
 * I would keep the filesystem structure (mixing contents from every version) but link to "file pages" with their canonical name: this way one can easily look up the purpose of a file/folder. (example: remove "iOS4+" from /private/var/Keybags, the power user working on a 3.x system won't find it on their device but will know that that folder has a specific purpose in "other" versions.) IMHO, the attempt to accurately describe the filesystem has historical and practical value for this wiki. --Ryccardo 14:21, 13 September 2011 (MDT)
