Meejah,

Sorry, but, would you please consider adding a short description to this of 
what txtorcon is.
It’s great that your announcing the update, and highlighting the changes…if I 
used it, I’d be upgrading it.

But I have absolutely no idea why I would want to investigate using it, because 
there is no description of the package.

Well, that’s not 100% true.  From my knowledge of twisted, I know it’s network 
based, and that’s it.  I can’t tell if it’s a server, or client application.

Even just simply adding your 10,000 feet summary:

txtorcon is an implementation of the control-spec 
<https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/blob/HEAD:/control-spec.txt> for Tor 
<https://www.torproject.org/> using the Twisted 
<https://twistedmatrix.com/trac> networking library for Python 
<http://python.org/>.

would have been extremely helpful.

I hope you will take this as the creative criticism that I am offering it as.  

        - Benjamin
