How to edit- You'll need to log in with a Google account to create or edit secrets
- Anyone can edit secrets created in the last 3 days. You'll always be able to edit secrets you add.
Suggestions for editors- Don't include "defaults write" anywhere. Secrets takes care of that
- Try to phrase things in the positive form. Say "Enable Blah" instead of "Disable blah" and use boolean-neg to negate it if needed.
- Use sentence case.

what is the delimiter for a Keypath? i tried using / and : but neither work
The keypath delimiter is . (dot)
The field "Notes" is not explained here. I suspect it's only for notes to the editors, but this should be made clear, as I initially was expecting that those notes would appear on the user's end as well.
Editing older secrets no longer seems to work. I was trying to edit http://secrets.blacktree.com/edit?id=2945 (not mine) to fix the bundle ID, but it wouldn't give me access.
Following on from jediknil above, there needs to be a way to fix broken / old secrets. For example, Secret #3962 does now know the correct default, and shows for all versions of iTunes. I submitted a corrected one (3963) since I can't edit the original.
According to the original post I should be able to edit the secret (assuming it's less than 3 days old) but I don't seem to be able to.
The allowedit page is on a different domain. Cookies usually don't go cross domain unless you set them for the TLD (.com in this case). Which is generally, since everybody can edit this.
Is there a way to specify a range for floats?
What do Group and Pony do?
any ideas on how to add custom stacks? would you just change the array in the lines to add the favorite stacks?
