Talk:Main Page

Please explain that it's currently not open to new sign-ups

Hi, thanks for helping me get an account here. I had wanted to sign up and found that it didn't work - without any explanation why. Eventually I managed to get in contact with one of the sysops via Twitter and was told that it was closed because of spammers taking over.
It would be nice if you could add a little note on this on the main page. There it still says that anyone can join. That should be changed. Maybe even with a hint at how someone could still sign up by contacting someone, if he can explain why he needs to be in.

I placed a message on the user login page. That should do the trick. :) --Dialexio 16:00, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

HW Developer related stuff goes where?

I am working on a project in which I want to use the Dock connector's serial lines to communicate with an external device. Since Apple makes this very difficult (tried to get into the MFi program with no luck), I found that I probably need to jailbreak the device in order to use these lines directly.
Finding help in the www was quite disappointing so far (the one by Collin Meyer is quite outdated). So when I figured a few things out now, I'd like to share them. I'd post explanations on how to use these lines on the Dock and how to program them.
I wonder if this is the right site for such information. The main page claim to be about _anything_ iPhone, but all I find so far is Jailbreak-related. So, what is this about? Shall I post my findings here or do they better fit somewhere else, e.g. the iphonedevwiki? Sadly I can't sign up with iphonedevwiki, either. Gosh, why is it so hard to find a place to share programming on jailbroken devices? Any other suggestions, please?

I think it is. This is more appropriate on the Community Portal, not the Main Page though --Balloonhead66 16:16, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
