Hi,

We at Twisted Matrix Labs strongly prefer it if you could change the name to something that doesn't include "Twisted". Calling things "Twisted X" gives people the impression that X is part of Twisted, which means they complain to the core Twisted developers about them, and we already have enough legitimate things for them to complain to us about :-).

We'd also like to reserve the right to protect "Twisted" as a trademark in the future, which means working to prevent it from becoming a generic term, which means asking folks like you to help us by respecting that and using other names for your projects.

This is why we suggest the "tx" prefix for projects that use and/or work well with Twisted. (See, for example, the list of examples at https://launchpad.net/tx ).

Thanks for your help,

-glyph

I've been asked to submit a patch for Twisted with the content of this package, so I assume your concern will be out-of-date soon.

Hi,

Whether this functionality is contributed to Twisted or not, this project is not part of Twisted. We would appreciate it if you could rename the project.

Thanks, Jean-Paul
