txtorcon 23.5.0

[Benjamin Schollnick]

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
