How about a compromise (for now). I've changed the title (see attached)
but there is no easy way to delete projects on readthedocs (that I can
see), so I don't want to create a 2nd project with a new url just yet
(which may cause more confusion).


If I can figure out how to change the URL, I don't mind doing that either.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
