"Should it only be JB projects?"

To answer this curious editor's question:

The iPhone Dev Wiki is mostly jailbreak oriented, but there isn't anything that specifically says that only jailbreak-related things can be documented in this wiki.

That being said, The iPhone Dev Wiki itself states that it is "The sum of all human knowledge about jailbroken iOS development," so I think we should still stick with only listing jailbroken FOSS projects.

...That, and the fact that there are very little FOSS iOS apps (and the ones that exist are essentially dead)

Updated (as of 'Date')

Given the size of the list I'm questioning the wisdom of having every item in the list using a delta timestamp. Every month, as most dates are accurate to the month, every Item will need to have it's delta updated. If we switch now to using absolute dates then we only need the single switch now and then only a single project when one is updated?

Descriptions?

Do we really want a short description of each package? I can see the theoretical use but each projects link should have a readme detailing the product properly and it makes it looks slightly cluttered? I'd vote no to descriptions, or if everyone else disagrees then at-least moving them the last updated along so it is still the right most column.
