Pronunciation

A suggestion for the article: could someone add a note on how to pronounce twm? I say "tomb" to rhyme with the Welsh word cwm (as in Cwm Rhondda) but I really have no idea. --Northernhenge (talk) 22:30, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just pronounce each letter individually. :P Pegasus «C¦T» 06:35, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've never heard it described other than as "T-W-M" - David Gerard (talk) 10:43, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New name

Timeless Windows Manager - that's "Windows", not "Window" - is the name in X.Org git at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/twm/ ... let's see if they change it ;-p - David Gerard (talk) 00:02, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Misinformation

After many years of being unmaintained, twm is now being maintained and updated in the X.org distribution by Eeri Kask as the "Timeless Windows Manager."

Eeri Kask is definetly not the current maintainer, in the cited mailing list post he said he would look into it but he has never been heard of again.

Neither is the codebase unmaintained, twm has not seen significant changes in many, many years but received a handfull of bugfixes from time to time

The last paragraph should be deleted.
