Ryan Petrich has just confirmed TweakWeek 2, a project in which a series of popular iOS developers will release a new Cydia tweak each day for a week.
During the first TweakWeek popular developers like Ryan Petrich, Dan Zimmerman, Elias Limneos, Grant Paul (chpwn), Filippo Bigarella, Tyler Nettleton, Andrea Oliva, Max Shav and moeseth released over 65 free, open source tweaks.
Petrich is looking for other developers to participate in the project -- which will start "sometime after the iOS 7 jailbreak."
The rules state that developers must release one new tweak everyday for seven days -- and all the work must be done on release day (in one day). All releases must be open source as well.
Additionally, Petrich claims that TweakWeek 2.0 already has over 20 developers, and could last more than 5 months.
The point of TweakWeek seems to be for the developers to show off their talent rather than provide users with stable, reliable tweaks. The fact that all the work on each tweak must be done on release day means that there could be a lot of tweaks released which are unstable. This is one of the downsides of jailbreaks unfortunately, but obviously we will still see a lot of innovation... some of which will undoubtably be incorporated in future releases of iOS.
