Hacker p0sixninja (Joshua Hill) teased OpenJailbreak, a new repository of open source jailbreak components on Twitter earlier today.

Ok, I hate redsn0w, I hate sn0wbreeze, and I hate 6.1.3. I'm ready to get this #openjailbreak off the ground

Elaborating further he told iFans that, “Essentially it’s going to be a repository of open source jailbreak components that I created over the years. So much of my code has been hacked up and incorporated into other projects, it’s becoming very fragmented. There’s no central repository to maintain all this code, to allow other developers to submit patches or help layout a roadmap for what new features and abilities will be added in the future.”

Surenix is reportedly working on the development of the website for the repository and Hill is organizing that components that will be posted.

Hill also says "this is just a small part of an ultimate plan" perhaps eluding to another recent tweet which said, "I got a lot of amazing things coming to you all soon. think bigger than jailbreak ;)"

Notably, developer Ryan Petrich posted an image on Twitter earlier today which appears to indicate that there already is a jailbreak for iOS 7.

ios 7 is quite interesting rather than ios 6

Will SOMEONE release Something to JB my iPad on 6.1.3? It came in this way so I have no hope, and not real interested in iOS7 from what I'm seeing...

Same here - first time ever not too keen on upgrading the OS, maybe when Classic Theme is available on Winterboard :) First time ever needing that kind of JB-app to make the phone bearable.

Don't worry, someone is bound to create a Winterboard theme that looks like the "Classic" design.

p0sixninja always said about release but never released any jailbreak yet. He is just talking.

I would much rather wait for ios 8 and have a hardware based jailbreak, at least that way we will always have a tethered jailbreak

He didn't tell ifans, he announced it on IRC. You obviously missed the party.
