'npm init django' works, maybe let's stop that?
It has been brought to my attention[1] that running 'npm init django ' works. This is due to the existence of a package called create-django on npm ( https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-django ). This package is 17 days old at time of writing. It starts a Python virtualenv, installs Django, and invokes startproject with an opinionated template. Sometime in the past, a 'django' package was uploaded to npm, then someone from the DSF contacted npm and got it renamed due to the trademark and security risk of developers mixing up commands. ( https://www.npmjs.com/package/django -> https://www.npmjs.com/package/django-express ) I propose we again contact npm and request a rename of create-django and the holding of the name. This would avoid any confusion that the package is "official".

Any time this happens, just notify the DSF Board; they're the ones with the legal standing to enforce the trademark. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.

I thought of this, but I also wanted to have the discussion out in the open before the decision that it’s a use of the trademark we want to stop. I guess we don’t have any other place for such a discussion?

I am in favor of removing such a package. FWIW I have been contacting the authors of https://pypi.org/project/Django-2.2.19/ and https://pypi.org/project/Django-504/ as well a few weeks ago (their packages list before or next to Django when searching for Django on PyPI and might create some confusion). Given that I received no answer in weeks I'll guess I'll ask the PyPI team to remove them. For me it is not as much a trademark issue in this case but mostly a security issue.
