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)
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)
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.

If something like twm is rarely used anymore, can it really be considered the standard? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.117.239.16 ( talk) 19:08, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
It is still used. On servers which have a GUI (most are text based though) they generally just install the core X, xterm, and twm (maybe xdm as well) in order to use tools such as the graphical system-config-* under redhat. Its much less bloated than gnome etc... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.23.50.232 ( talk) 23:40, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. Favonian ( talk) 19:12, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
Twm → Timeless Window Manager – There are more people who use a Tiling Window Manager than people who use Timeless Window Manager. Therefore, it should have priority in using the abbreviation Twm. This abbreviation is already often used for Tiling Window Managers, and people who look it up will be confused. I will link the articles through hatnotes. 81.71.110.7 ( talk) 19:44, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
