consider renaming Bower package to jquery-touchSwipe

[mreinstein]

It seems like a common convention for jquery packages in bower is to use jquery.<name> or jquery-<name>. That way you kind of namespace the package and people will know it's dependent on jquery from name alone.

have submitted request to bower to re name the package. cant do it myself.

I've never submitted a package to Bower before. How did you submit it the first time? Is there a registry like npm or did a github spider discover the repo?

[mattbryson]

You can register via bower, but once registered you cant edit. You have to post on the bower github board and request an edit / removal of the package. Quite annoying - no idea how long it will take, but the git url appears to be the unique key, so I cant re register with a different name.

You simply do bower register [name] [git-end-point]

So, just waiting to someone to manually edit the package name for me!

Ahh okay. Thanks for the info. : )

still waiting for the guys managing bower to update this
bower/bower#120 (comment)

could take a while.....

[mreinstein]

Well at least you've got your request in. It's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, though consistency is nice. :)
