Hi, I actually have contributed a few small patches to Twisted. I've attempted to contribute a few more which never made it in. I intend to contribute more in the future. I prefer launchpad over github because of its issue tracker, especially the ability to crosslink issues which affect more than

Dear people of twisted-python: We just released Tahoe-LAFS v1.7. The major new feature is an SFTP server. This means that (with enough installing software and tinkering with your operating system configuration) you can have a normal-looking mount point backed by a Tahoe-LAFS grid. Regards, Zooko
