I think trademarking "twisted" is a good idea, if only to have a prior claim in the (unlikely) event someone else should try to claim it for something in the context of software.
Thanks.
I'm not enthusiastic about "twisty" as a naming standard for anything -- partly from jml's observations and partly just some aversion to it that I don't understand myself -- if I don't mind "twisted", why would "twisty" bother me? I dunno.
I am not particularly enthusiastic about the term myself, personally. I think we need some word to fill that role (the one that "Py" fills for Python) but please feel free to suggest something else. It doesn't have to be a full word - "Py" isn't. "Twi"? (Quick, someone come up with a home lighting control project that uses twisted so we can have "TwiLight".)
