after realising just how much of a mess jailbreaking is , i am here to start an initiative for a community developed terminal app for ios which is essentially a *nix system being emulated over ios which has its own filesystem , an emulated kernel perhaps , basically a VMish *nix environment with its own guts (hence no jailbreaking required )
i am not talking about a dang ssh app thingies that are out there already , you all know they don't quite cut it .
and since this will be no different than a game with an abstracted environment of its own
apple shouldn't be anal about letting us put it on the app store
note : this thread should for now be a discussion/contemplating ground but make no mistake about it , i am serious and i believe this will actually in the end materialize into something that will finally let you have a full even if emulated *nix environment on them i-devices of yours .
----------
as for the licencing , since this is a community project i have chosen the 3 clause BSD license for it , if you wanna join the project please pm me with the details about your contribution and i'll add you on the project on google code
i need contributors here please
we now have a google code project page please contribute there as we move forward
