Since we've migrated away from GitHub's Wiki system, we can actually
have our docs organised in a sane structure. Our docs fall into a few
pretty contained categories:
- alt: documentation for distribution maintainers
Note that this is *not* for distro-specific documentation.
We ask that distro maintainers use their distro's own documentation
infrastructure for that kind of information. This is
- fw: vendor-controlled firmware and its interfaces. All documentation
for iBoot, SecureROM, SEPFW, RTKit, WiFi/BT, etc. should go here.
While m1n1 and U-Boot are "firmware" from the running operating
system's perspective, they are not firmware from a platform or
project perspective.
- hw: documentation for system hardware
- cpu: anything related to the application processors, e.g. Apple's
ISA extensions, register definitions, etc.
- devices: machine-specific documentation, e.g. Mac model numbers
- peripherals: hardware not integrated into the SoC itself, e.g.
webcam, speakers, keyboard, trackpad, etc.
- soc: functional hardware blocks integrated into the SoC, e.g.
SMC, video codecs, display controllers, etc.
- platform: documentation applicable platform-wide, such as the security
architectire, boot flow, standard SSD partition map, etc.
- feature-support: feature support lists, separated by SoC generation
- project: documentation related to the project itself. FAQs, references,
etc.
- sw: documentation for all software components that are not considered
firmware. This includes m1n1, U-Boot, Linux kernel/userspace, etc.
This commit also ensures that all links resolve correctly.

The blog post list was in age-descending order. This makes no sense. Flip the order so that the most recent blog post is at the top of the list. Signed-off-by: James Calligeros <[email protected]>
We have been "just getting started" for five years. Time for a change. Signed-off-by: James Calligeros <[email protected]>

The correct place for distribution-specific information is that distro's documentation infrastructure. Signed-off-by: James Calligeros <[email protected]>

As promised, the repo has been reorganised so that the docs are a little easier to maintain and URLs are less insane. I've also touched up the homepage and added proper titles to every other page
