Where can I find the wiki?

I found this log of the channel conversation http://irclog.netripper.com/?chan=G2ROOT. I'm going through it now to confirm, but I'm a little worried because the channel status says "no perm root yet" when I logged in just now.

Edit: Here's a juicy quote I just found in there:

13:06 gartral|p Whha.. we have permaroot?
13:06 scotty2 yes
13:06 scotty2 we do
13:06 scotty2 45% of the time.

[09:02] <scotty2> i still can't believe we could have had this a month ago.

[09:04] <g2man> topic says no perm root yet

[09:05] <g2man> :(

[09:05] <scotty2> lol

[09:05] <scotty2> it's technically correct

[09:05] <scotty2> i don't think anyone has copied busybox and su to system yet

[09:06] <tmzt_dg2root> rooted

[09:06] <tmzt_dg2root> $

[09:06] <tmzt_dg2root> non OTA confirmed with scotty2's module

[09:06] <scotty2> OTA confirmed with mine

:D

I've only skimmed through the logs, so have probably missed a lot of stuff, but it sounds to me like they've managed to write to the eMMC, but still have a load of work to make it easy/repeatable.

Cool, I subsequently saw my interpretation was a little out of date.

Here's some stuff from the log summary :

If anyone doesn't want to wade through the whole log, skip to 12:03.

Big high five to all those who did the dirty work to make this happen. :D:D:D
This is the interesting part. It's proably posted, but it's so epic so I post it again :)

my question is that, did the source code released by HTC had a big play in this accomplishment?

If so, I think we can give a tip of the hats to HTC as well...
Just saying..
